General Introduction The Basic and Clinical Science Course (BCSC) is designed to meet the needs of residents and practitioners for a comprehensive yet concise curriculum of the field of ophthalmology. The BCSC has developed from its original brief outline format, which relied heavily on outside readings, to a more convenient and educationally useful self-contained text.

The Academy updates and re vises the course annually, with the goals of integrating the basic science and clinical practice of ophthalmology and of keeping ophthalmologists current wi th new developments in the various subspecialties.

The SCSC incorporates the effort and expertise of mo re than 80 ophthalmologists, organized into 13 Section faculties, worki ng with Academy editorial staff. In addition, the course continues to benefit from many lasting contributions made by the faculties of previous editions. Mem bers of the Academy's Practicing Ophthalmologists Advisory Committee for Education serve on each facu lty and , as a group, review every volume before and after m ajor revisions .

Organization of the Course The Basic and Clinical Science Course comprises 13 volumes, in corporating fundamental

ophthalmic knowledge, subspecialty areas, and speCial top ics: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

xiv. Generallntroduction

These references are intended to be selective rather than exhaustive, chosen by the BCSC facul ty as being important, current, and readily available to residents and practitioners. Related Academy ed ucational materials are also listed in th e appropriate sections. They include books, online and audiovisual materials, self-assessment programs, clinical modules, and interactive programs.

Study Questions and CME Credit Each volume of the BCSC is designed as an independent study activity fo r ophthalmology residents and practit ioners. The learning objectives for this vo lume are given on page I. The text, illustrations, and references provide the information necessary to achieve the objectives; the study questions allow readers to test their understanding of the material and their mastery of the objectives. Physicians who wish to claim CME credit for th is educational activity may do so by folloWing the instructions given at the end of the book.

Conclusion The Basic and Cli nical Science Course has expanded greatly over the years, with the addition of much new text and numerous illustrations. Recent ed itions have sought to place a greater emphasis on clinical applicability while maintaining a solid foundation in basic science. As with any educational program, it reflects the experience of its authors. As its faculties change and as medicine progresses, new viewpoints are always emerging on controve rsial subjects and techniques. Not all alternate approaches can be included in this series; as with any educational endeavor, the learn er should seek additional sources, including such carefully balanced opinions as the Acade my's Preferred Practice Patterns. The BCSC faculty and staff are continuously striving to improve the educational usefu ln ess of the coursej you, the reader, can co ntribute to this ongoing process. If you have any suggestions or questions about the series, please do not hesitate to contact the faculty or the editors. The authors, edi to rs, and reviewers hope that your study of the BCSC will be of lasting value and that each Section will serve as a practical resource fo r quality patient care.

CHAPTER

1

Introduction to Part I

The purpose of BCSC Section 4, Ophthalmic Pathology and Intraocular Tumors, is to provide a general overview of the fields of ophthalmic pathology and ocular oncology. Although there is some overlap between the 2 fields, it is useful to approach specific disease processes from the standpoint of 2 separate discipli nes. This book contains numerous illustrations of entities commonly encountered in an ophthalmic pathology laboratory and in the practice of ocular o ncology. In ad dit io n, important but less common entities are

included for teaching purposes. For more comprehensive reviews of ophthalmic pathology and ocular oncology, the reader is referred to the excellent textbooks listed in Basic Texts at the end of this volume. Part I of this text provides a framework for the study of ophthalmic pathology, with the following hierarchical organizational parad igm (explained in detail in the next section): topography, disease process, general diagnosis, differential diagnosis. Chapter 2 briefly covers basic principles and speCific aspects of wound repair as it applies to ophthalmic tissues, wh ich exhibit distinct responses to trauma, including end-stage processes such as

phthisis bulbi. Chapter 3 discusses specimen handling, including orientation and dissection, and emphasizes the critical commu nication between the ophthalmologist and the pathologist. Although most ophthalmic pathology specimens are routinely processed and slides are stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), speCial procedures are used in selected cases. Chapter 4 details several of these procedures, including immunohistochemical staining, flow cytometry, polymerase chai n reaction (PCR), and electron microscopy. Also discussed are indications in some instances for special techniques in obtaining the

specimen, such as fine- needle aspi ration biopsy, and speCial ways of preparing slides for examination, such as frozen sections. Chapters 5 through 15 apply the organizational paradigm to speCific anatomical locations.

Organization Chapters 5 through 15 are each devoted to a particular ocular structure. Within the chapter, the text is organized from ge neral to speCific, according to the following hierarchical framework:

topography disease process

general diagnosis differential diagnosis 5

6 • Ophthalmic Pathology and Int raoc ula r Tum ors

Topography The microscopic evaluation of a specimen, whether on a glass slide or depicted in a photograph, should begin with a description of any normal tissue. For instance, the topography of the cornea is characterized by non keratini zed stratified squamous epithelium, the Bowman layer, stroma, the Descemet membrane, and endothelium. By recognizing a particular structure, such as the Bowman layer or the Descemet membrane, in a biopsy specimen, an examiner might be able to identify the topography in question as cornea. It may not be possible, however, to identify the specific tissue source from the topography present on a glass slide or in a photograph. For example, a specimen showing the topographic features of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium overlying dermis with dermal appendages may be classified as skin; however, unless specific eyelid structures such as a tarsal plate are identified, that skin is not necessarily from the eyelid. See BCSC Section 2, Fundamentals and Principles of Ophthalmology, fo r a review of ophthalmic anatomy. Disease Process

After identifying a tissue source, the pathologist should attempt to categorize the general disease process. These processes include congenital anomaly inflammation degeneration and dystrophy neoplasia Congenital anomaly

Congenital anomalies usually involve abnormalities in size, location, organization, or amount of tissue. An example of congen itally enlarged tissue is congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (C HRPE) (see Chapter 11 , Fig 11 -5; and Chapter 17, Fig 17-10). Many congenital abnormalities may be classified as choristomas or hamartomas. A choristoma consists of normal, mature tissue at an abnormal location. It occu rs when 1 or 2 embryonic germ layers form mature tissue that is abnormal for a given topographic location. An example of a choristoma is a dermoid: skin that is otherwise normal and mature present at the abnormal location of the limbus. A tumor made up of tissue derived from all 3 embryonic germ layers is called a teratoma (Fig 1-1). In contrast, the term hamartoma descri bes an exaggerated hypertrophy and hyperplasia (abnormal amount) of mature tissue at a normal location. An example of a hamartoma is a caven10US hemangioma, an encapsulated mass of mature venous channels in the orbit. Inflammation

The next disease process in the schema, inflammation, is classified in several ways. It may be acute or chronic in onset and focal or diffuse in location. Chronic inflammation is subdivided further as either granulomatous or nongranulomatous. For example, a bacterial corneal ulcer is generally an acute, focal, nongranulomatous inflammation, whereas sympathetic ophthalmia is a chronic, diffuse, gra nulomatous inflammation. Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs), eosinophils, and basophils all circulate in the blood and may be present in tissue in early phases of the inflammatory process (Figs 1-2,

CHAPTER 1: Introduction to Part I • 7

1-3, 1-4). The types of leukocytes present at the site of inflammation vary according to the inflammator y response. PMNs, also known as neutrophils. typify acute inflanunator y cells and can be recognized by a multiseg mented nucleus and intracytoplasmic granules. They may be present in a variety of ac ute in fla mmatory processes; for example, they are assoc iated with bacterial infection and found in the walls of blood vessels in some forms of vasculitis. Eosinophils have bilobed nuclei and prominent intracytoplasmic eosinophilic granules. They are commonly found in allergic reactions, although they may also be present in chronic inflammatory processes such as sympathetic ophthalmia. Basophils contain basophilic intracytoplasmic granules. Mast cells are the tissue-bound equivalent of the blood borne basophils. Inflammatory cells that are relatively characteristic of chronic inflammatory processes include monocytes (Fig 1-5) and lymphocytes (Fig 1-6). Monocytes may migrate from the intravascular space into tissue, in which case they are classified as histiocytes, or macrophages. Histiocytes have eccentric nuclei and abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm. In some instances, histiocytes may take on the appearance of epithelial cells, with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm and sharp cell borders, becoming known in th e process as epithelioid histiocytes. EpitheliOid histiocytes may fo rm a ball-like aggregate known as a gra nuloma, the sine qua non for gran ulomatous inflammation. These granulomas may contain only histologicall y intact cells Chard" tubercles, Fig 1-7), or they may exhibit necrotic centers ("caseating" granulomas, Fig 1-8). Epithelioid histiocytes may merge to form a syncytium with multiple nuclei known as a multinucleated giant cell. Giant cells formed from histiocytes come in several variet ies, including Langhans cells, characterized by a horseshoe arrangement of the nuclei (Fig 1-9) Touton giant cells, which have an annulus of nuclei surrounded by a lipid-filled clear zone (Fig 1-10) foreign body giant cells, with haphaza rd ly arranged nuclei (Fig I - I I)

Ly mphocy tes are small cells with ro und, hyperchromatic nuclei and scant cytoplasm. Circulating lymphocytes infiltrate tissue in all types of chronic inflammatory processes.

These cells terminally differentiate in the thym us (T cells) or bursa equ ivalent (B cells), although it is not possible to distinguish between Band T lymphocytes with routine histologic stai ns. B cells may produce immu noglobulin and differentiate into plasma cells, with eccentric "cartwheel:' or "clockface," nuclei and a perinuclear halo corresponding to the Goigi apparatus. These cells may become completely distended with imm unoglobulin and form Russell bodies, which may be extracellular. BeSe Section 9, Intraocular Infla m mation and Uve itis, discusses the cells involved in the inflammatory process in depth in Part I, Immunology.

Degeneration and dystrophy The term degel1eratiol1 refers to a wide variety of deleterious tissue changes that occur over time. Degenerative processes are not usually associated with a proliferation of cells; rather. there is often an accumulation of acellular material or a loss of tissue mass. Extracellular deposits may resu lt from cellular overproduction of normal material or me tabolically abnormal material. These processes, which have a va riety of pathologic appearances, may occu r in response to an inj ury or an inflammatory process. As used in this book, "degeneration" is an artificial category used to encompass a wide variety of disease processes. Various

10 • Ophthalmic Pathology and Intraocu lar Tumors categories of diseases, such as those due to vascular causes, normal aging or invo lutional

causes, and trauma, could be considered separately. However, in order to efficiently convey the hierarchical scheme used in th is book, these causes are lumped under the rubric of "degeneration:' Dystrophies are defined as bilateral, symmetric, inherited conditions that appear to have little or no relationship to environmental or systemic factors. Degeneration of tissue may be seell in conjunction with other general disease processes. Examples include calcification of the lens (degeneration) in association with a congen ital cataract (congenital anomaly) ; corneal amyloid (degeneration) in associatio n with trachoma (inflammation); and orbital amyloid (degeneration) in association with a lymphoma (neoplasm). The ophthalmic manifestations of diabetes mellitus can be classified as degenerative changes associated with a metabolic disease. Neoplasia A neoplasm is a stereotypic , monotonous new growth of a particular tissue phenotype.

Neoplasms can

in either benign or malignant forms. Examples found in particu lar

tissu es include

adenoma (benign) versus adenocarci noma (maligna nt) in glandu lar epithelium topography + oma (be nign ) versus topography + sarcoma (malignant) in soft tissue hyperplasia!infiltrate (benign) versus leukemia/lymphoma (malignant) in hematopoietic tissue

Some neoplastic proliferations are called borderline, in that they are difficult to clasSify histologically as benign or malignant. Althou gh most of the neoplasms illustrated and discussed in this text are classified as benign or malignant, the reader should be aware that tissue evaluation in a particular disease can give only a static portrait of a dynam iC process. Thus, it may be impossible to determine whether the process will ultimately be benign or malignant, and in some instan ces "ind eterminate" or "borderline" is a legit imate interpretation. Table I-I summarizes the origin, general classification of benign ve rsus m alignant, and grO\¥th pattern of neoplasms originating in various tissues. The growth patterns described in Table I-I are shown in Figure 1-12. General histo-

logiC signs of malignancy include nuclear and cellular pleomorphism, necrosis, hemorrh age, and mitotic activity.

General Diagnosis After considering the topography and disease process, the examiner formulates the gen eral diagnosis. Recognizing a tissue index feature is a critical step in arriving at the gen-

eral diagnosis. Index feat ures are morphologic identifiers that help to define the disease process more speCifically. Examples include the presence of pigment in a pigmented neoplasm, necrosis in a necrotizing gran ulomatous inflammation , and accum ulation of

smudgy extracellular mate rial in a smudgy eosinophilic corneal degeneration. The index feature should differentiate the particular specimen fro m others demonstrating the same general disease process. For instance, reti noblastoma and melanoma are both intraocular

maligna nt neoplasms; the for mer is a retinal malignancy, and the latter is a uveal tract malignancy. Other index features for distinguishing between these lesions could be "small, rou nd, blue cell tumor" for the retinob lastoma and "melanocytic proliferation" for the melanoma. Althoug h the most basic index features can be recognized without great difficul ty, it takes experience and practice to identify subtle index features.

Differential Diagnosis After the examiner has distingUished a key index feature and formulated a general diagnosis, developing a differential diagnos is is the next step. The differential diagnosis is a limited list of speCific conditions resulting from pathologiC processes that were identified in the general diagnosis. For instance, the differential diagnosis based on the features of noncaseating gran ulomatous inflammation of the conjunctiva includes sarcoidosis} foreign

The differential diagnosis of melanocytic proliferation of the conjunctiva includes nevus, primary acquired melanosis, and melanoma. Readers are encouraged to practice working through the hierarchical framework by verbalizing each step in sequence while examining a pathologic specimen. Chapters 5 through 15 of this book provide tissue-specific examples of the diffe rential diagnoses for each of the 4 disease process categories. The expanded organizational paradigm is shown in Table 1-2.

Wound Repair

General Aspects of Wound Repair Wound healing, though a common physiologic process, requires a complicated sequence of ti ssue even ts . The purpose of woun d healing is to restore the anatomical and fu nctional

integrity of an organ or tissue as quickly and perfectly as possible. Repair may take a year, and the result of wound healing is a scar with variable consequences (Fig 2-1). A series of react ions fo llO\~s a wound, including an ac ute infla m matory phase, regenerati on / repair, and co ntract ion:

The acute inflammatory phase may last from minutes to hours. Blood clots quickly in adjacent vessels in response to tissue activators. Neutrophils and fl uid enter the

extracellular space. Macrophages remove deb ris from the damaged tissues, new vessels for m, and fibroblasts begin to produce coll age n. Regenera tion is the replacement aflost cell s; this process occurs only in tissues composed of labile cells (eg, epithelium), which undergo mitosis throughout life. Repair is the rest ructuri ng of tissues by granu lation tissu e that matures into a fibrous scar. Finally, contraction causes the reparative tissues to shrink so that the scar is smaller than the surrounding uninjured tissues.

Healing in Specific Ocular Tissues The processes summarized in the following sections are also discussed in oth er volumes of the BCSC; consult the Master Index. Also see the appropriate chapters in this volume

for a specific topography.

Cornea A corneal abrasion, a pai nful but rapidly heali ng defect, is limited to the surface corneal epithelium, altho ugh the Bowman layer and superfici al stroma may also be involved. Withi n an hour of injury the parabasilar epithelial cells begin to slide and migrate across the denuded area until they touch other migrating cells; then contact inhibition stops further migration. Simultaneously, the surrou nding basal cells undergo mitosis to supply additional cells to cover the defect. Although a large corneal abrasion is usually covered by migrating epithelial cells within 24-48 hours, complete healing, which includes restoration of the full thickness of epithelium (4-6 layers) and re-formation of the anchoring

Sequence of general wound healing with an epithe lia l surface. 1, The wound is

created. Blood clots in the vessels; neutrophils migrate to the wound; the wounded edges begin to disintegrate. 2, The woun d edges are reapposed with the various tissue planes in good alignment. The epithelium is lost over the wound but starts to migrate. The subcutane-

ous fibroblasts enlarge and become activated. Fibronectin is deposited at the wound edges.

The blood vessels begin to produce buds. 3, The epithelium seals the surface. Fibroblasts and blood vessels enter the wound and lay down new collagen. Much of the debris is removed

by macrophages. 4, As the scar matures, the fibroblasts subside. New ly formed blood vessels recanalize. New col lagen strengthens the wound, which contracts. Note that the striated muscle cells {permanent cellsl at bottom are replaced by scar (arrow)

fibrils, takes 4- 6 weeks. The epithelial cells are labile; that is, some are continuously active mitotically and thus are able to completel y replace the lost cells. If a thi n layer of anterior cornea is lost with the abrasion, the shallow crater will be filled by epithelium, forming a face t.

Corneal stromal healing is avascular. Unlike with other tissues, heali ng in the corneal stroma occurs by means of fibrosis rather than by fibrovascular proliferation. This avascular aspect of corneal wound healing is critical to the success of pe net rating keratoplasty as well as photo refractive keratectomy (PRK), laser in situ keratom ileusis (LASIK), laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK), and other corneal refractive su rgical procedures.

Following a central corneal wou nd, neutrophils are carried to the site by th e tears (Fig 2- 2), and th e ed ges of the wound swell. Healing factors derived from vessels are not present. The matri x glycosa m inoglycan s, which in the corn ea are keratan sulfate and

chondro itin sulfate, diSintegrate at the edge of th e wound. The fibrob lasts of the stroma become activated, eve ntuall y migrating across the wound, laying down collagen and fibronectin. The directio n of the fibrobl asts and collagen is not parallel to stromal lamellae. Hence, cells are d irected anteriorly and posteriorly across a wou nd that is always visible m ic roscopically as an irregularity in the st ro ma and clinically as an opacity. If the wou nd edges are separated, th e gap is not completely filled by proliferating fib roblasts, and a parti all y filled crater results. Both the epithelium and the endothelium are critical to good central wou nd healing. Ifth e epithelium do es not cover th e wound within days, th e subjacent stroma l healing is limited and the wound is weak. Growth factors fro m the epitheliu m stim ulate and su stain

Retinal neovascularization generally consists of the growth of new vessels on the vitreous side of th e ILM (Fig 11 -23); only rarely does neovascularization occur within th e retina itself. Hemorrhage m ay develop from reti nal neovascularizatio n as the associated vitreous exerts traction on th e fragile new vessels, Reti nal neovascularization should be distingUished from retinal collaterals and arteriovenous shunts, which represent dil ati on and increased flow in existing retin al vessels.

layer are the thickest (Fig 11-24). Because the ganglion cell layer and the NFL are thickest in the macula but absent in the fovea, the norm al color of the choroid shows through in the fovea and produces a cherry-red spot, ophthalmoscopically suggesting CRA~. The retinal swell ing eventually clears an d leaves th e classic histologic picture of inner ischem ic atrophy (see Fig 11 -13 ). Scarring and neovascularization followi ng CRAO are rare. Branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) is usually the result of emboli that lodge at the bifurcation of a ret inal arteriole. Hollellhorst plaques, which are cholesterol emboli within ret inal arterioles, seldom occlude the vessel. Emboli may be the first or most importa nt clue to a significant systemic disord er such as carotid vascular disease (Hollenhorst plaques), cardiac valvular disease (calci fic em boli), or thro mboem bolism (platelet-fibrin emboli). The histology of the acute phase of BRAO is characterized by swelling of the inner retinal layers with the death of all nuclei. As the edema resolves, a classic picture emerges of inner ischemic atrophy in the distributi on of the reti na supplied by the occluded arteriole. The NFL, the ganglion cell layer, the in ner plexiform layer, and the inner nuclear layer are affected (see Fig 11- 13). Arteriolar occlusions result in infarcts with complete post necrotic atrophy of the affected laye rs. Central retinal vein occlusion (CR VO) occurs at th e level of the lamina cribrosa. T he pathophYSiology of CRVO is the same as that of hem iretinal vei n occlusion but different from that of branch retinal vein occlusion (see the following discussion). CRVOs develop as a result of structural changes in the central retinal artery and the lamina cribrosa that lead to compress ion of the central retinal vein . This compression creates turbulent flow in

164 • Ophthalmic Pathology and Intraocul ar Tumo rs the ve in and predisposes to thrombosis. These stru ctural cha nges occur in arteriosclerosis . hypertension, diabetes, an d glaucoma. Pnpillophlebitis refers to a condition in which

the clinical features ofCRVO are present, but there is no history of vascular disease. In this variant of CRVO, which typically occurs in yo un ger patients «50 years), inflammation of the retinal vessels at the optic disc has been shown to be a causative factor in retinal ve in occlusion.

CRVO is recognized clinically by the presence of retinal hemorrhages in all 4 quadrants. Usually, prominent edema of the optic nerve head occurs, along \'vith dilation of th e retinal veins, variable numbers of cotton-wool spots, and macular edema. CRVO occurs in 2 forms: a milder, perfused type and a more severe, nonperfused type.

NOl1pelfused CRVO was defined in the Central Vein Occlusion Study (CVOS) as a CRVO in which greater than 10 disc areas showed nonperfusion on fluorescein angi-

ography. Nonperfused CRVOs typically have extensive retinal edema and hemorrhage. Marked venular diJation and a variable number of cotton-woo] spots are found.

Acute ischemic CRVO is characterized histologically by marked retinal edema; focal retinal necrosis; and subretinal, intraretin al, and preretinal hemorrhage. With long-

standing CRVO, glial cells respond to the insult by replication and intracellular deposition of filaments (gliosis). The hemorrhage, hemosiderosis, disorganization of the retinal architecture, and gliosis seen in vein occlusions distingu ish the fi nal histologic picture from

that seen in CRAO (Fig 11-25). Numero us microaneurysms are present in the ret inal capillaries following CRVO, and acellular capillary beds are present to a variable degree. With time, dilated coilateral vessels develop at the optic nerve head. Neovascularization of the iris is common following ischem ic CRVO. Branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) is a disorder in which occlusion of a tributary retinal vein occurs at the site of an arter iovenous crossing. At the crossing of a branch reti nal artery and vein, the 2 vessels share a common adventitial sheath. \"'ith arteriosclerotic changes in the arteriole, the retinal venule may become compressed. leading to turbulent flow, which predisposes to thrombosis. This condition is more common in patients with arteriosclerosis and hypertension.

BRVO leads to retinal hemorrhages and cotton -wool spots. Because BRVO does not always result in total inner retinal ischem ia and death of all tissue, neovascularization is

unlikely unless the ischemia is extensive (>5 disc diameters) . Findings in eyes with permanent vision loss from BRVO include CME, retinal nonperfusion, pigmentary macular disturbance, macular edema with hard lipid exudates, subretinal fibrosis, and epiretinal membrane formation.

The histologic picture of BRVO resembles that seen in CRVO but is localized to the area of the retina in the distribution of the occluded vein. Inner ischemic retinal atrophy is a characteristic late histologic find in g in both retinal arterial and venous occlusions

(see Fig 11-13). Numerous microaneurysms and dilated collateral vessels may be present. Acellular retinal capillaries are present to a variable degree, correlating with retinal capil-

lary nonperfusion on fl uorescein angiography. Baseline and early natural history report. The Central Vein Occlusion Study. Arch Ophthalmol. 1993; III (8) , 1087- 1095.

Diabetic Retinopathy Diabetic retinopathy is 1 of the 4 most frequent causes of new blindness in the United States and the leading cause among 20- to 60-year-olds. Early in the course of diabetic retinopathy, certain ph ysiologic ab normalities occur: im paired autoregulation of the retinal vasculature

alterations in retinal blood flow breakdown of the blood-retina barrier

166 • Ophthalmic Pathology and Intraocular Tumors Histologically, the primary changes occur in the retin al microcirculatio n. These changes include thickening of the reti nal capillary basement membrane selective loss of pericytes compared with retin al capillary e ndothelial cells • microaneurysm fo rmation (see Fig 11-22) retinal capillary closure (see Fig II -21) (histologically recognized as acellular capillary beds) Dilated intraretinal telangiectatic vessels, or intraretinal microvascular abnorm al ities (i RMA), may develop, as shown in Figure II -21, and n eovascularization may follow (see Fig 11 -23). Intraretinal ede ma, hemorrhages, exudates, and microinfarcts of the inner retina m ay develop seconda ry to the primary retinal vascular changes. Acutely, mi crainfarcts of the inner retina (see Fig 11 - 15) are characte rized clinically as cotton-wool spots. Subsequently, focal inner ischem ic atrophy appears (see Fig II - 13).

Other histologic changes in diabetes In diab etes, the corneal epi thelial basement membrane is thickened . Th is change is as sociated with in adequate adh erence of the epith elium to the underlying Bowman layer, pred isposing diabetic patients to corneal abrasions and poor corneal epithelial healing. Lacy vac uolation of the iris pigment epitheliunl (Fig 11 -26) occurs in association with hyperglycemia; histologically, the in traepithelial vac uoles contain glycogen (PAS-posi tive and diasta se-sensitive). Histopathologically, thicken ing of the pigmented ciliary epithelial basement membrane (see Fig 11-26) is almost unive rsally present in diabetic eyes. The incide nce of cataract formatio n is increased.

glial scarring.

Retinopathy of Prematurity Retinal ischemi a also plays a role in retinopathy of prematurity (ROP ). This ischemia develops not because of the occlusion of existing vessels but rather because of the absence of retinal vessels in the incompletely developed ret inal peripher y. A decrease in reti nal blood flow from oxygen- induced vasoconstriction may also be a contributing factor.

The clinical and histologic features of ROP are so mewhat di fferent from those present in other retinal ischemic states. Retin al edema and exudates do not develop. Ret inal hemorrhages and retinal vasc ular di lation develop only in the most severe cases (plus or rush disease). Neovasculari zation of th e ret ina and vitreous may develop as a result of

proli feration of new vessels at the border between the vasculari zed and avascular periph eral retina. Fib rovascular proliferation in to the vit reous at this site may lead to tractional retinal detachment, macular heterotopia, and high myopia. See BCSC Section 6, Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, and Section J 2, lletina and Vitreous, fo r a more detailed d iscussion.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration Age-related macular degeneration (AM D) is the leading cause of new blindness in the Un ited States. Although the etiology of AM 0 remains unknown, evidence suggests that both genes and environmental factors play a role in the disease pathogenesis. Recently, single nucleotide polymorph isms within the complement factor H gene (CFH) have been found to be associated with the development of AMD in 60% of cases. Increasing age,

168 • Ophthalmic Pathology and Intraocular Tumors cigarette smoking, posit ive family history, and cardiovascular disease increase the risk of

developing AMD. In addition, randomized clinical trials showing the benefit of antioxidant supplementation in AMD provide support for the role of oxidative stress in progression of the disease. See BeSe Section 12, Retina and Vitreous, for additional discussion. Several characteristic changes in the retina, RPE, Bruch membrane, and choroid occur in AMD. Perh aps the first detectable pathologic change is the appearance of deposits between the basement membrane of the RPE and the elastic portion of the Bruch membrane (basal li near deposits) and sim ilar deposits between the plasma membrane of the RPE and the basement membrane of the RPE (basal laminar deposits). These deposits are not clinicall y vis ibl e and may require electron microscopy to be distinguished. In advanced cases, these deposits may become confluent and can be seen at the light microscopic level

(Fig 11 -28). This appearance has been described as diffuse drusen. The first clinically detectable feature of AMD is the appearance of drusen. The clinical ter m drusen has been correlated pathologically to large PAS-positive deposits between the RPE and Bruch membrane. Many eyes with clinically apparent dr usen (especially soft drusen) are fo und to have basal la minar and/or basal linear deposits and diffuse d rusen on histologic analysis. Drusen, which may be transient, have been classified clinically as fo llows: hard (hyaline) drusen: the typical discrete, yellowish lesions that are PAS-positive nodu les composed of hyaline material between the RPE and Bruch membrane (Fig 11-29)

Photoreceptor atrophy occurs to a va riable degree in macular degeneration. It is not clear whether this atrophy is a primary abnormality of the photoreceptors or is secondary to the underlying changes in the RPE and Bruch membrane. In addition to photoreceptor atrophy, large zones ofRPE atrophy may appear (Fig 11 -31) . When this occurs centrally, it is termed geographic atrophy (formerly, central areolar atrophy of the RPE). Drusen, photoreceptor atrophy, and RPE atrop hy may all be present to varying degrees in dry, or nonexudative, AMD. Eyes with choroidal neovascularization (neovascular, wet, or exudative AMD) have fib rovascular tissue present between the inner and outer layers of the Bruch membrane, beneath the RPE, or in the subretinal space (Fig 11 -32). The new blood vessels leak fluid and may rupture easily. producing the exudative consequences of neovascular AMD, including macular edema, serous ret inal detachment, and sub retinal and intraretinal hemorrhages. VEGF inhibition achieved with intravi treally administered anti- VEGF agents (pegaptanib, ranibizumab, or bevacizumab) has been shown to reduce the macular edema, slow the progression of the choroidal neovascularization, and improve the visual outcomes of patients with neovascular AMD (also see the section "Vascular responses"). Sub retinal choroidal neovascular membranes have been classified as type 1 or type 2, based on their pathologic and clinical feat ures. Type 1 neovascularization (Fig 11-32A) is typically associated with the presence of basal laminar deposits and diffuse drusen and characterized by neovascularization within the Bruch membrane in the sub-RPE space. In this type of neovascularization, the RPE is often abnormally oriented or absent across a broad expanse of the inner portion of Bruch membrane. Type 2 neovascularization (Fig 11-32B) occurs in the sub retinal space and generally features only a small defect in

Several genetic mutations have been observed in patients with a Stargardt-like phenotype, includ ing the A BCA4, STGD4, ELO V4, and RDS/peripherin genes. Mutati ons in ABCA4 are responsible fo r most cases of Stargardt disease. The A BCA4 ge ne encodes a protein called RIM protein, which is a m ember of th e adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette transporter fami ly. It is expressed in th e ri ms of rod and cone photoreceptor disc membranes and is involved in the transport of vitamin A derivatives to the RPE. The most st riking feature of Stargardt d isease on light and electron microscopy is the marked engorgement of RPE cells (Fig 11 -35C, D; see also Fig 9-9 in BeSe Section 12, Retina and Vitreous) with lipofuscin -like, PAS-positi ve materi al, with apical d isplacement of the no rmal RPE melanin granules.

absence of normal background choroidal blush), which is characteristic of Stargardt disease.

C, Histology with periodic acid- Schiff (PAS) stain discloses hypertrophic RPE cells with numerous PAS-positive cytoplasmic granules containing lipofuscin. This histopathologic finding corresponds to the retinal flecks seen clinically. D, In advanced stages of Stargardt disease,

geographic RPE atrophy with loss of the photoreceptor cell layer (asterisks) may be observed. (Courresy of Sander Dubovy. MO.)

Best disease Best disease, or Best vitelliform macular dystrophy, is a dom ina ntly inherited, early-onset macular degenerative disease that exhibits some histopathologic similarities to AMD. The diagnosis of Best disease is based on the presence of a vitelli form (resembling th e yolk of an egg) lesion (see Fig 9-10 in BeSe Section 12, Retil," and Vitreous ) or pigmentary changes in the central macula and a reduced ratio of the light peak to dark trough in the electro-oculogram . Mutations in the VMD2 gene on chromosome 11 (llqI3) encoding

the bestrophin protein have been identified in Best disease. The gene prod uct, bestrophin, localizes to the basolateral plasma membrane of the RPE and represents a family of chloride ion channels. Investigators have reported that bestrophins are volume·sensitive and may playa role in cell volume regulation in the RPE cells. Fischmeister R, Hartzell He. Volume sensitivity of the bestrophin family of chloride channels. J Physioi. 2005;562(Pt 2):477-491. Marmorstein AD, Marmorstein LY, Rayborn M, Wang X. Hollyfield JG, Petrukhin K. Bestro · phin, the product of the Best vitelliform macul ar dystrophy gene (VMD2), loca lizes to the basolatera l plasma membrane of the ret inal pigment epithelium. Proc Natl Acnd Sci USA. 2000;97(23): 12758- 12763.

Pattern dystrophies The term pattern dystrophies refers to a heterogeneous group of inherited macu lar disorders characterized by varying patterns of pigment deposition in the macula at the level of the RP E. Recogni zed pattern dystroph ies include butterfly-shaped pattern dystroph y (BPD), adult-onset foveom acular vitelliform dyst rophy (AFMVD ), re ticula r dystrophy, and fundus pulve rulentus. BPD is characterized by a butterfly-shaped, ir regular, depigmen ted lesion at th e level of the RPE. AFMV D is characte rized by the presence of slightly elevated, symmetric, round to oval, yellow lesions at the level of the RPE, which are typically smaller tha n the vitelliform lesion characteristic of Best disease (Fig 11 -36). Optical coherence to mography (O CT) has demonstrated elevation of the photoreceptor laye r, with localizatio n of the dystrophic mate rial between the photoreceptors and RP E. The most common gene tic mutation associated with th e pattern dystroph ies is in the RDS/ peripheril1 gene. Histologic studies revea l centr al loss of the RPE and photoreceptor cell layer, with a moderate number of pigment·containing macrophages in the subretinal space and outer ne urosensory retina (see Fig 11 -36). To either side, the RP E is distended with lipofuscin. Basal lam inar and linear deposits are present throughout the macular region. The pathologic finding of pigment-contain ing cells with lipofuscin in the subretinal space correlates cl inicall y with the vi tell ifo rm appearance. See BeSe Secti o n 12, Retina and Vitreous, for furthe r discussion. Dubovy SR, Hairston RJ, Schatz. H, et al. Adult· onset foveomacular pigment epit helial dystrophy: clinicopathologic correlation of three cases. Retina. 2000 ;20(6):638 - 649.

Diffuse Photoreceptor Dystrophies Inherited dystrophies affecting the rods an d cones are discussed in greater detail elsewhere in the BeSe (see BeSe Sectio n 12, Retina al1d Vitreous). Only the most common diffuse photoreceptor dystrophy, retinitis pigm entosa, is discussed here. Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of inherited retinal diseases characterized by photoreceptor and RPE dysfunction resu lting in progressive visual field loss. The genetics of RP are complex. It can be sporad ic, autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked. Mutations in the rhodopsin gene (RHO) are the most com mon cause of autosomal dominant RP. Ophthalmoscopic fi ndin gs include pigment arranged in a bone spicule- like configuration around the ret inal arterioles, arteriolar narrow ing, and optic

Answers I. b. A choristoma is normal, mature tissue in an abnorma l location. A limbal dermoid is

an example of a choristoma-skin that is present at the abnormal location of the lim bus but otherw ise nor mal and mature. T he te rm hamartoma descr ibes an exaggerated hypertrophy and hyperplasia (abnor mal amount) of mature tissue at a no rmal locati o n. An example of a hamartoma is a caver nou s hem angioma, an encapsulated mass of ma ture venous channe ls in the orbit. A granuloma is an aggregate of epithelioid histiocytes within tissue in th e setting of chronic granu lo matous inflammation. 2. d. Neutrophils, or polymorphonuclear lettkocytes (PMNs), are identified by their m ulti seg mented nuclei and intracytoplasmic granules, and they predo minate in the acute inflammator y response in bacterial infec tio ns. Eosinophils have bilobed n uclei and prominent eosinophilic intracytoplasmic gra nules and are co mmo nly observed in allerg ic reactions. Basoph ils contain basophil ic intracytop lasm ic granu les, circ ulate in the bloodstream, and playa rol e in parasitic infectio ns and allergic responses. Epithelioid hi stio cytes have abundant eosinophiuc cytoplasm and sharp cell borders and are histologi c markers of granu lomatous inflam mation. 3. a . Malignant tumor cells are characterized histologically by cellular and nuclear pleomorphism (ie, cells and nu clei of different sizes and shapes) . Premature individual celJ kera tinization, or dys keratosis, may be see n in both benign and malig nant epithelial lesions. D ysplas ia (abnormal epithelia l maturatio n) is a premalignan t change. Calcification may be seen in benign an d malignant lesion s. 4. a. Traumatic recessio n of the anterior chamb er angle is due to a tear in the ciliary body, between the longitudinal and circular mu scl es, with posteri or di splacemen t of th e iri s root. Concurrent damage to the trabecular meshwork may lead to glaucoma. Lens subluxation and iridodialysis may be observed in addition to angle recession after blunt o cular trauma; however, th e glaucoma th at occurs in association with angle recession is most com monly caused by damage to the trabecular meshwork. 5. a. Michel (pro nounced mee-SHELL) transport medium is used to transport specimens for immunofluorescence studies. In ocular cicatricial pemphigo id, imm un ofluoresce nce studies demon strate IgG, IgM, andlor IgA immunoglobu lins, andlo r com plement (C3) positivity in the epithelial base ment membran e zone. M ichel med ium is not a fixative. It should be sto red refrigerated (not fr ozen) until use. Specimens may be kept in Michel medium for up to 5 days at room temperature. Glutaraldehyde is the preferred fixa tive fo r electron microscopy. No rmal saline solut ion (0.9% sodium chJ oride) and absolute ethyl alcoho l may be employed to transport tissue within 24 hours fo r RNA stud ies. 6. a. Gluta raldehyde (2.5 % sol ution in phosphate buffered saline) fixat ion is the first step in preparing a speci men for electron mi cro sco py. The tissue is th en washed in buffered so lutio n an d post fixed in osmium tetroxide (os mincation process). Representative pieces of tissue are processed in graded alcohol baths for dehydration and embedded in epoxy resi n. Thick sectio ns ( 1 ~lm in thickn ess) are cut to examine th e tiss'lle under light mi croscopy and ide ntify regio ns of greatest interest fo r ul trathin sectioni ng. The ultrathi n sections (50 11m in thickness) are cut with d iamond or glass kn ives attached to an ultra microtom e and th en 11l0unted 011 a 3-11l11l-ci.iameter copper grid. The mounted sections are then stained with uranyl acetate (or lea d citrate) to impart co ntrast to the tissue for elec tron microscopy. 37 1

7. a. A frozen section is indicated when the results of the study will affect management of the patient in the operating room. Two com mon indications for frozen section are to determine whether resection margins are free of tumor and to determine whether the surgeon has obtained a representative biopsy specimen in the case of metastases. Interpretation or diagnosis of a lesion requires permanent sections. Permanent sections are always preferred and are the standard for formal diagnosis based on pathologic findings. 8. c. Hemangiopericytoma is a solid tumor, and radiologic imaging and ultrasonography would therefore provide only nonspecific features that are of poor diagnostic value. Hemangiopericytoma is a primary orbital tumor, and the clinical symptoms will be the same as the symptoms for any orbital tumor. One can expect proptosis, pain, and diplopia as presenting features. The diagnosis requires positive immunohistochemical staining for CD34. The staining can be done on fine-needle or open orbital biopsy specimen. 9. a. Pleomorphic adenoma (benign mixed tumor) is the most common epithelial tumor of the lacrimal gland. The tumor is pseudoencapsulated and grows by expansion . Progressive growth into the bone of the lacrimal fossa may cause excavation and stimulate new bone (cortication) formation in the area. Total primary excision through a lateral orbitotomy is the correct approach because when part of a tumor is left behind, tumor recurrence and, in rare instances, malignant transformation are possible. A lateral orbitotomy provides the best surgical exposure and allows for complete removal of the tumor. 10. d . Immunohistochemistry takes advantage of the property that a given cell can express specific antigens. In immunohistochem istry, a primary antibody binds to a specific antigen on the surface of or within a celL The antibody is linked to a chromogen, whose colored end-product is visualized under a microscope to determine the cell type. Hundreds of antibodies specific for cellular products or surface antigens are available, and immunohistochemistry is the only method capable of distinguishing lesions of neuroendocrine origin from those of neuroectodermal origin. Chromatography is the collective term for a set oflaboratory techniques used to separate colored chemical mixtures and is not routinely used in pathologic examination of tissues. A Gram stain can identify the morphology of an infectious bacterium and the bacterium's affinity for a specific histological stain, thus distinguishing betv'leen gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. This information can be used in the selection of an antibiotic. Routine histologic examination cannot dis tinguish neuroendocrine fro m neuroectodermal lesions because their pathologic appearance is very similar. 11. c. Avellino dystrophy, or combined granular-lattice dystrophy, displays features of both granular dystrophy (type 1) and lattice dystrophy (type 1). Histologically, hyaline deposits (highlighted by the Masson trichrome stain) and amyloid deposits (highlighted by the Congo red stain) are present within the corneal stroma, which is characteristic of granular dystrophy and lattice dystrophy, respectively. Macular dystrophy exhibits mucopolysaccharide deposits (highlighted by the alcian blue and colloidal iron stains). 12. c. Acanthamoeba protozoa have a double-walled cyst morphology, and these cysts are difficult to eradicate from the corneal stroma. Less commonly, trophozoite forms may also be identified. Epithelial cells infected with herpes virus may display intranuclear inclusions, but these are rarely seen histologically because corneal grafting is not generally performed during the acute phase of infection. Pseudomonas is a gram-negative bacterium and is rod shaped (bacillus). 13. c. Long-standing intraocular hemorrhage leads to degenerative changes in erythrocytes, which lose intracellular hemoglobin and, clinically, appear golden brown or "khaki col-

Answe rs . 373 ored:' These rigid, spherical ghost cells may obstruct the trabecular meshwork, leading to ghost cell glaucoma. 14. d. Ghost cells are hemolyzed eryth rocytes that have lost most of their intracellular hemoglobin. Heinz bodies are the remaini ng denatured, precipitated hemoglobin particles within the ghost cells. 15. a. The clinical presentation is suggestive of nodu lar scleritis, related to rheumatoid arthritis. Choice a describes the histology of a rheumatoid nodule. 16. a. Under normal co nditions, the lens epitheli al cells terminate at the lens equator. When the equatorial lens epithelial cells migrate onto the posterior le ns capsule, they swell (referred to as bladder cells of Wedl), res ulting in posteri or subcapsular cataract formation. 17. d . In phacolytic glaucoma. denatured lens pro tein in a hypermature cataract leaks through microscopic openings in an intact lens capsule. T his lens protein is then phagocytosed by macrophages, which are present in the an teri or chamber angle. 18. b_ The internal limiting membrane is the innermost layer of the neurosensory retina and. though attached to the vi treous, is not considered a component of the vitreous. The h)'a loid face is the outer surface of the vitreo us cortex. The hyaloideocapsular ligament forms the anterior border of the vitreous, which is attached to the lens capsule. The vitreous base is a firm circumferential attachment of the vitreo us straddling the ora serrata. 19. d. The development of asteroid hyalos is is not known to be a consequence of age. Vitreous syneresis, macular hole, and posterior vitreous detachment can be considered age related, as the incidence of these co nditions increases with age. 20. a. Nerve fiber layers in the outer plexiform layer (nerve fiber layer of Henle) run obliquely, allowing for the accumulation of fluid in the macula, which appears as cysts when there is abnormal permeability of the blood-retina ba rri er. 21. c. Capillary hemangioma is the most common neoplasm of the eyelid in childhood and has a bright red appearance clinicall),. Plexifo rm neurofibromas typically affect the upper e),elid, are not particularly vascular, an d do not t),picall), cause discoloration of the e),elid. Acute dacryocystitis can occur in childre n, bu t it would affect the medial canthal region of the lower eyelid. Benign mixed tumor of the lacrimal gland is rare in children. It may cause a mass in the upper outer eyelid. typ ically without discoloration. If the eyelid is everted, the mass may be appreciated th rough the conjunctiva. 22. d. The inflammation seen in Vogt-Koya nagi- Harada (VKH) syndrome is very similar to that seen in sympathetic ophthalmia. Both demo nstrate the presence of lymphocytes and epithelioid histiocytes (g ranulomatous inflamma tion) in the posterior uveal tract. VKH involves the choriocapillaris more often than does sympathetic ophthalmia. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis typically involves the anterior uveal tract and does not demonstrate granulomatous inflammation. Pars planitis ilwolves th e peripheral retina, vitreous, and choroid. Typically, the inflammation is not granul omatous. 23. d. Circumscribed choroidal hem angioma typically has a red or orange appearance clinically, and it is characteristically highl y refl ec tive on ultrasonography. Posterior scleritis may be very difficult to appreciate on fun dus examination but may have an associated exudative retinal detachment. On B-scan echography, the sclera will appear th ickened, and a "T sign" may be seen arOlU1d the optic nerve. Central serous retinopathy wilJ have a localized exudative retinal detachment, typically wi thout Significant findings in the choroid. Amelanotic melanomas usually appear cream colored cl inically and have low to medium internal reflectiVity on A-scan echography.

24. a. The correct answer is the presence of hair follicles. An epidermoid cyst is lined with keratinized stratified squamous epithelium similar to epidermis but does not have skin adnexal structures such as hair follicles or glands. A dermoid cyst is lined '",ith epidermal epithelium and has adnexal structures. Both types of cysts will generate a mixed inflammatory response if they rup ture. 25. d. The most common type of intraocular tumor overall is a metastatic neoplasm. The second most common type in adults is uveal melanoma. Retinoblastoma is uncommon overall, and lymphomas are rare. 26. d. Molluscum contagiosum is characterized by marked focal acanthosis of the epidermis with a central umbilication. Viral inclusions are present in most of the superficial epithelial cells. Squamous papilloma has an upward rather than downward growth pattern histologically. Xanthelasma consists of aggregates of foamy macrophages in the dermis. Basal cell carcinoma has an invasive (downward) growth pattern, with multiple islands of blue cells ,vith the characteristic peripheral palisading border of tumor cells. Basal cell carcinoma is more common on the lower eyelid. 27. d. The correct answer is viral. A papilloma, typical of infection of the skin with human papillomavirus, is defined as acanthotic epithelium with a fibrovascular core. Bacterial infections typically cause an abscess or cellulitis. Inflammatory lesions are typically erythematous. Sun exposure may cause hyperpigmentation, wrinkling, or actinic keratosis (ie, a flat, red, scaly lesion). 28. d. Squamous cell carcinoma in situ implies that the neoplasm is confined to the epithelium and does not break through the basement membrane and extend into the underlying stroma. 29. c. Aniridia is most commonly associated with glaucoma. Foveal hypoplasia, cataract, and corneal pannus may also be present. 30. b. In acquired optic atrophy, there is loss of axonal fibers, which results in a decrease in the optic nerve diameter with corresponding widening of the intermeningeal (subarachnoid) space. Additional changes include gliosis and thickening of the fibrovascular pial septa. 31. b. Optic nerve glioma is most frequently associated w·ith neurofibromatosis type 1. 32. c. Old age was found to be a risk factor for metastatic uveal melanoma. The other choices are also well-established risk factors . 33. b. The risk of developing uveal melanoma is closely related to a person's complexion. Uveal melanoma appears mostly in whites, mainly in those of European origin, and is rare in other races. 34. d. The liver is by far the most frequen t site of metastasis from uveal melanoma, and metastasis to other organs, such as the lungs, skin, and bones, is rarely found without liver involvement. 35. a. The presence of a retinal capillary hemangioblastoma (previously knovm as retinal capillary hemangioma) suggests the possibility of von Hippel- Lindau (VHL) syndrome resulting from a mutation of the VHL gene on chromosome 3. ~atients with VHL syndrome are at risk for cerebellar hemangioblastomas, pheochromocytomas, and renal cell carcinomas. Genetic screening of such patients should be considered. 36. c. von Hippel disease is limited to a solitary finding, retinal capillary hemangioblastoma. VHL syndrome is associated with cerebellar hemangioblastomas. Patients with this syndrome are also at risk of develop ing pheochromocytomas and renal cell carcinomas.

37. c. Invasion of the optic nerve increases the risk of central nervous system metastasis either by direct access in or along the nerve or by seeding of the subarachnoid space. Massive, deep invasion of the choroid increases the ri sk of hematogenous spread (metastases). 38. a. Coats disease is a unilateral retinal vascu lopathy occurring most commonly in boys younger than 10 years. Some studies have linked Coats disease to mutatio ns in the Norrie disease gene (NDP). There is no association with HLA-B27. 39. a. Intraocular calci fications are the hallmark of retinoblastoma and signify retin oblastoma until prove n othenvise. In rare instances, intraocular calcifications may be seen in toxocariasis, persistent fetal vasculature, and Coats disease. In these cases, calcifications are usua lly foca l and discrete, occurring within granulomas (toxoca riasis) or a retrolental membran e (persistent fetal vasculature) or at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium (Coats disease) . 40. d. Osteosarcomas represent 40% of tumors ar ising within the field of rad iation and 36% outside the field of radiation in patients previously treated for retinoblastoma. 4 1. d. A parent with retinoblastoma, in theory, has a somatic mutation of at least 1 allele of the reti noblastoma gene (RB!). Thus, there is a 50% chance that the parent will pass the mutated allele to each of his or her children . There is a 90% chance of penetrance if the abnormal allele is inherited. Therefore, the chil d's risk of developing ret inoblastoma is the sum of 0.50 x 0.90, which is 0.45, or 45%. 42. c. A 2-year-old child \vith unilateral retinoblastoma at diagnosis is unlikely to develop disease in the other eye. Any tumors that fo rm would most likely be peripheral to the macula and, with close surveillance, amenable to local treatment with laser or cryotherapy alone. Eyes classified as International Group E have the most advanced intraocular disease with limited visual potentia1. Tumors may invade the anterior chamber and ciliary body, and there may be associated neovascular glauco ma. Such eyes are unlikely to respond to conservative treatment measures. 43. d . Treatment of a patient with a metastasis to the eye should be individually tailored after consultation with the patient's oncologist. When the patient has other systemic metastases, systemic che motherapy-which may also affect the ocular metastasis-may be considered. \tVhen th ere are mu ltiple ocular metastases and chemotherapy is not planned, external-beam radi ation may be considered. When the ocular metastasis is solitary and no othe r system ic metastases are known, brachytherapy may be the treatment of choice. 44. a. Retinal hemorrhages, typically white-centered hemorrhages, are the most common ocular manifestation of leukemia. Patients with leukemia and retinal hemorrhages typically have anem ia and thrombocytopenia. The ot her findings are much less co mmon. 45. b. Primary intraocular lymphoma (also know n as large cell lymphoma, vitreoretinallymphoma, or retinal lymphoma), occurs in 15%-25% of patients with primary central nervous system lymp homa (PCNSL). On the other hand, more than half of patients with primary intraocular lymphoma have or will develop PCNSL. 46. a. Leukemic retinopathy is characterized by in tra retinal and preretinal (subhyaloidal) hemorrhages. The hemorrhages most often result from associated anemia or thrombocytopenia. Reti nal hemorrhages may have white centers, so-called pseudo-Roth spots. Additional fi ndings may include hard exudates, cotton-wool spots, and perivascular infiltrates.
