Ocular copper deposition associated with pulmonary carcinoma, IgG monoclonal gammopathy and hypercupremia. A clinicopathologic correlation.

Hypercupremia with central deposition of copper in Descemet's membrane and lens capsule has been reported previously in lymphoproliferative disorders in two cases. A 60-year-old white man presented with visual acuity loss and was found to have an iridescent brown corneal and lenticular discoloration. Laboratory investigation revealed hypercupremia secondary to a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the lung. Presence of copper in the eye was confirmed by specific atomic absorption spectra and histochemical stains of ocular tissue. This appears to be the first report of a carcinoma with associated hypercupremia presenting initially with ocular copper deposition.

Ocular reticulum cell sarcoma. Clinicopathologic correlation of a case with multifocal lesions.

A 56-year-old man presented with recalcitrant uveitis with anterior chamber and vitreous cells. He developed small scattered lesions in the macular areas of both eyes, which disappeared in the right eye and evolved to multifocal, discrete, punched-out lesions resembling birdshot retinochoroidopathy in the left eye. Ocular reticulum cell sarcoma (RCS) was suspected but was not confirmed by diagnostic vitrectomy. The patient died 3 years later and was found to have RCS with central nervous system and ocular involvement. The occurrence of tumor cells under the retinal pigment was the apparent cause of the multifocal lesions that disappeared in the right eye and that led to discrete punched-out lesions with no scarring in the left eye.
