    Achados histopatológicos em retinoblastoma
    (Conselho Brasileiro de Oftalmologia, 2005-06-01) Souza Filho, João Pessoa de [UNIFESP]; Martins, Maria Cristina [UNIFESP]; Torres, Virgínia Laura [UNIFESP]; Dias, Ana Beatriz Toledo [UNIFESP]; Lowen, Marcia Serva [UNIFESP]; Pires, Luciana Afonso [UNIFESP]; Erwenne, Clélia Maria [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    OBJETIVO: To study histopathological findings of enucleated eyes with retinoblastoma. METHODS: Twenty-eight cases of retinoblastoma treated by enucleation at the Federal University of São Paulo from December 2000 to October 2002 were histopathologically reviewed. Clinical data included age, gender, race, unilateral or bilateral involvement and previous treatment. The histopathological review evaluated the presence of iris and/or angle neovascularization, tumor differentiation and optic nerve and choroidal invasion according to Khelfaoui's classification. RESULTS: Of 27 patients, 13 (48.5%) were boys and 14 (59.3%) were girls, 16 were white, 6 were black and 5 were asiatic, age ranging from 2 to 96 months (mean, 22.7 months). 13 cases were bilateral and 14 cases were unilateral. All tumors were histologically characterized by a proliferation of small cells with high nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratios and 20 (71.4%) of them were well differentiated. Choroidal involvement was observed in 18 (64.2%) cases (degree II, III) and optic nerve invasion in 8 (28.5%) cases (degree III, IV, V). CONCLUSION: Neovascularization, necrosis and calcification were the most commonly observed feature. The invasion into the optic nerve and choroid, which are the two most important predictors of patient outcome were found in 28.5% and 64.2% of the cases, respectively.

    Melanocitoma do nervo óptico
    (Sociedade Brasileira de Oftalmologia, 2008-12-01) Gouveia, Enéias Bezerra; Morales, Maira Saad De Ávila [UNIFESP]; Centro Médico Avimed; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Melanocytoma of the optic disc is a well known variant of melanocytic nevus that usually occurs as a deeply pigmented lesion on the head of the optic disc. Historically, this tumor has often been confused with malignant melanoma. Histopathologically, it is composed of deeply pigmented round oval cells with abundant cytoplasm and small, round, bland nuclei. Melanocytomas is a benign, stationary tumors, with almost no propensity to undergo malignant transformation. Most cases that occur on the optic disc are visually asymptomatic, but they can cause an afferent pupillary and visual field defects. Importantly, it can exhibit malignant transformation into melanoma in 1 to 2% of the cases. The affected patients should have periodic follow up.
