This is leucocoria, or "white pupil" caused by the presence of a mass lesion in

the eye--a retinoblastoma. This is the most common intraocular neoplasm of childhood.

Retinoblastoma is the classic example of the neoplasm arising from the "two hit" genetic defect. If the patient inherits one bad tumor suppressor gene (the Rb gene on chromosome 13), either by a point mutation or by deletion of the locus q14 on chromosome 13 as pictured here, then the other is typically lostin childhood and a retinoblastoma develops.



RETINOBLASTOMA -HISTOLOGY

•OOVAL TO SPINDLE CELLS WITH DARK NUCLEI AND SCANT CYTOPLASM•RROSETTE-FW, HW•PPSEUDOROSETTES•NNECROSIS•CCALCIFICATION•VVALCULAR BASOPHILIA•OTHER FEATURES OF DIFFERENTIATION



CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF

RETINOMAS(RETINOCYTOMAS)

•C-COMPARATIVELY SMALL, HOMOGENOUS, TRANSLUCENT, GRAY, SLIGHTLY ELEVATED PLACOID MASS WITH FUNCTIONAL RETINAL BLOOD VESSELS LOOPING INTO THE MASS.•O-OPAQUE, WHITE CALCIFIED FLECKS HAVE APPEARANCE OF COTTAGE CHEESE•P-PROLIFERATION AND MIGRATION OF REINAL PIGMENT EPITHELIUM IN AREAS UNDERLYING OR ADJACENT OT THE TUMORS

•F-FUNCTIONAL EYE WITH CLEAR MEDIA AND NO RETINAL DETACHMENT.

RETINOBLASTOMAS RETINOCYTOMAS



Classification of retinoblastoma into undifferentiated and differentiated types neither conveys histogenesis nor prognosis.- Earlier view – RB with rosettes better

prognosis.- Differentiated RB with FW or HW rosettee

don’t offer better prognosis (Taktikos, 1966, TSO et al, 1970).

•DDIFFERENTIATION •CCHOROIDAL INVASION•OOPTIC NERVE INVOLVEMENT (AXIAL/SUBARACHNOIDAL)•>5% SMALL TUMOURS – CHOROIDAL INVASION•PPOSTERIOR POLE TUMOURS –EARLY INVASION.



RETINOBLASTOMA

•HHistologically multiple foci of tumor appreciated on serial section study•NNecrosis common in exuberant tumours•VVascular basophilia (Feulgenophilia)•DDifferentiation like ganglion cells, axis cylinders orspongioblastic astrocytes ocdasionally observed.

MEDULLOEPITHELIOMA

•M-Malignant tumor : 10% mortality-Bad prognostic factors:-extrascleral extension -optic nerve involvement



MEDULLOEPITHELIOMA

•CCongenital tumor, usually unilateral•AArises from primitivemedullary epithelium in iris,ciliary body, retina, optic, disc, optic nerve associated with PHPV



MALIGNANT MELANOMA



MALIGNANT MELANOMA



Where do melanomas arise from ?

STROMAL MELANOCYTESTumour associated with melanosis



Diffuse malignant melanomas

•DDifficult to detect•OOften treated for glaucoma,uveitis or detachment•AAlmost always mixed cells type•1>3% show extrascleralextension•5 5year mortality – 73%



Malignant melanoma of choroid Modes of Spread

•I-Intraocular and Episcleral•O-Orbital•D-Distant metastases



EFFECTS OF THE MELANOMA ON INTRAOCULAR STRUCTURES

•R-Retina and RPE Retinal Detachment Cystoiddegeneration-Lipofuscin deposits-Subretinal Neovascularization-RPE metaplasia and atrophy. Drusen•C-Choroid – Choriocapillaris compression-Glaucoma – melanomalytic glaucoma in necrotic tumors. Peripheral & diffuse tumors.
