Pars Plana Cysts, Macroscopic Pathology, View from Vitreous
Pars plana cysts are a harmless aging change. These are not real cysts but a separation of the non-pigmented from the pigmented ciliary epithelium just anterior to the ora serrata. The cysts usually contain a clear fluid. Here they are opaque after fixation. Proteincontaining fluid looks white and a multiple myeloma shoud be ruled out.
