Intraocular reticulum-cell sarcoma: clinico-pathologic study of four cases and review of the literature. 1975

C C Barr, and W R Green, and J W Payne, and D L Knox, and A D Jensen, and R L Thompson

Four patients with primary intraocular reticulum-cell sarcoma were presented. All of the patients were followed at the Wilmer Institute for periods of up to ten years. All had decreased visual acuity and a uveitis that was refractory to standard forms of therapy. In one case, the correct diagnosis was made clinically. At autopsy, two of the patients had systemic reticulum-cell sarcoma, a third had intracranial reticulum-cell sarcoma, and in a fourth case the disease process was confined to the eye. The literature is reviewed and the clinico-pathologic features of the total of 14 cases are analyzed. It is emphasized that a recalcitrant uveitis was present in almost all of the cases reported. Differential diagnosis and methods of diagnosis are discussed.

D008228 Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin Any of a group of malignant tumors of lymphoid tissue that differ from HODGKIN DISEASE, being more heterogeneous with respect to malignant cell lineage, clinical course, prognosis, and therapy. The only common feature among these tumors is the absence of giant REED-STERNBERG CELLS, a characteristic of Hodgkin's disease.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009900 Optic Nerve The 2nd cranial nerve which conveys visual information from the RETINA to the brain. The nerve carries the axons of the RETINAL GANGLION CELLS which sort at the OPTIC CHIASM and continue via the OPTIC TRACTS to the brain. The largest projection is to the lateral geniculate nuclei; other targets include the SUPERIOR COLLICULI and the SUPRACHIASMATIC NUCLEI. Though known as the second cranial nerve, it is considered part of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.
