| Paraneoplastic Retinopathy, Cancer Associated (CAR), Histology | |
| Paraneoplastic retinopathy is a remote (autoimmune) degeneration of the retina without invasion of the eye by malignant tumor, most frequently of the lung. Progressive visual loss caused by spotty loss of photoreceptors and disruption of the corresponding pigment epithelium. Note the lack of interdigitation with photoreceptors and the dilated mitochondria of the photoreceptor cells. | |
