Fig. 24. An unusual complication of cataract surgery. A. An unsuspected uveal mass was noted in the region of the pupil following cataract extraction. The mass was determined to be a metastatic carcinoma. The globe was enucleated. B. In a section of the enucleated globe, extensive tumor (T) can be identified though one hemisphere of the choroid, causing a secondary retinal detachment (RD). The detached retina is herniated through the cataract wound. (Hematoxylin-eosin stain; × 5.) |
