What is Retina Pathology?

Retina Pathology
Pathology of an eye with enucleated retinoblastoma showing optic nerve invasion. The hematoxylin-eosin photomicrograph shows the posterior displacement of the lamina cribrosa by a compact blue tumor. Cords of tumor cells are intermingled with the retrobulbar nerve tissue. The central retinal vessels are surrounded by the invading tumor. Inset: higher-power magnification showing details of the central retinal vein surrounded by packed tumor cells. Blood flow velocity in monocular retinoblastoma assessed by color Doppler.
