We report a primary retinal tumor with features of myxopapillary ependymoma. The lesion occurred in a 33-year-old man with a long history of phthisis bulbi and a more recent history of pain to the right eye. Enucleated ocular globe revealed a lesion occupying most of the retinal surface. Histologically, the retina was replaced by a tumor composed of spindle cells with fibrillary cytoplasm and round to ovoid nuclei forming fascicles, perivascular pseudorosettes, microcysts, and deposition of extracellular mucins. Calcifications, metaplastic bone, and lymphoplasmacytic inflammatory infiltrate were also seen. Tumor cells expressed GFAP and S-100 and to lesser extent carbonic anhydrase II. The immunoreaction for EMA showed diffuse granular positivity, decorated a few extracellular lumina, and highlighted intracytoplasmic lumina in a few cells. Ultrastructurally, there was accumulation of extracellular material between cells and around capillaries, long interdigitating cytoplasmic processes, extracellular lumina packed with microvilli, a few junctions evident around lumina, and some ciliary basal bodies and ciliary basal rootlets. As control cases, we also investigated expression of EMA and carbonic anhydrase II in an ocular globe with retinal gliosis and three cases of myxopapillary ependymoma of the cauda equina. The lesion described here represents the first example of retinal tumor with features of myxopapillary ependymoma. Pathologic features and particularly expression of carbonic anhydrase II suggest a derivation from intrinsic glial cells of retina otherwise known as Muller cells.
