  • Title: Uveitis and reticulum cell sarcoma of brain with bilateral neoplastic seeding of vitreous without retinal or uveal involvement.
    Author: Minckler DS, Font RL, Zimmerman LE.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1975 Sep; 80(3 Pt 1):433-9. PubMed ID: 1099911.
    Abstract:
    A 65-year-old woman had been observed for more than four years with bilateral chronic nongranulomatous uveitis and vitreous clouding of unknown cause. Her death was from reticulum cell sarcoma of the brain (microglioma). Both eyes were obtained post mortem. Histopathologic examination revealed malignant cell in the vitreous of both eyes, but no other tumor was demonstrable in the ocular tissues. Reticulum cell sarcoma should be suspected in middle-aged or older persons with chronic unilateral or bilateral uveitis of unknown cause who develop cerebral manifestations during the course of the disease.
