Aggressive metastasising adenocarcinoma of the retinal pigment epithelium with trisomy 21. Abstract Text:

This case report describes a 37-year-old man with a blind eye with opaque media. Histopathology revealed an aggressive adenocarcinoma of the retinal pigment epithelium with marked invasion of the choroid, retina, sclera and--not previously reported--the orbital and cranial optic nerve and subarachnoid space. The tumour seeded into the lumbar spinal-cord space. Metastatic foci--not in continuity with the primary process--developed in the parietal lobe and cerebellopontine angle. Adenocarcinoma of the retinal pigment epithelium, which occurs rarely in longstanding blind eyes, may exhibit aggressive behaviour with life-threatening risk of metastatic spread.
