MYCN-amplified RB1 wild-type (MYCNRB1) retinoblastoma is a rare and aggressive subtype, often resistant to standard therapies. Identifying unique MRI features is crucial for diagnosing this subtype, as biopsy is not recommended. This study aimed to differentiate MYCNRB1 from the most prevalent RB1 retinoblastoma using pretreatment MRI and radiomics.

Background -amplified wild-type () retinoblastoma is a rare but clinically important subtype of retinoblastoma due to its aggressive character and relative resistance to typical therapeutic approaches. Because biopsy is not indicated in retinoblastoma, specific MRI features might be valuable to identify children with this genetic subtype. Purpose To define the MRI phenotype of retinoblastoma and evaluate the ability of qualitative MRI features to help identify this specific genetic subtype.

Purpose: To study longitudinal changes in retinal capillary circulation in eyes treated with iodine 125 (I) plaque brachytherapy for uveal melanoma using OCT angiography (OCTA).

Design: Longitudinal prospective study of 21 patients undergoing treatment for uveal melanoma with I plaque brachytherapy. Eyes with melanoma were imaged with OCTA before treatment and at 12-month intervals until 2 years after brachytherapy.

Purpose: To report 3 cases of corneal protein deposition occurring in association with systemic disease, with one case demonstrating a novel technique for clearing corneal deposits.

Observations: Three patients presented with corneal deposits associated with systemic disease. Corneal involvement was noted prior to diagnosis of systemic disease in two patients, leading to subsequent diagnosis of multiple myeloma or monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance.

Background/aims: Enucleation for retinoblastoma is performed less often in the past decade due to increasingly widespread alternative therapies, but enucleation remains an important option. There is a paucity of reports on the current incidence of metastases and metastatic deaths in unilateral retinoblastoma from US centres.

Methods: Retrospective chart review at five tertiary retinoblastoma centres in the USA for unilateral retinoblastoma patients treated with primary enucleation, 2007-2017, with 1 year of follow-up or treatment failure.

Objective: To study peripapillary retinal capillary circulation in eyes treated with I-125 plaque brachytherapy for uveal melanoma using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

Design: Cross-sectional study of 10 subjects imaged with OCTA prior to uveal melanoma treatment and 15 subjects imaged after development of radiation retinopathy and/or optic neuropathy.

Participants: Following IRB approval, subjects were enrolled from an academic ocular oncology clinical practice.

Purpose: To report a case of intratumoral gene expression profile discordance in a malignant uveal melanoma, associated with intratumoral heterogeneity based upon histopathologic features.

Methods: The clinical history, fundus findings, imaging and histopathologic features, and DecisionDx-UM gene expression profile results (Castle Biosciences, Inc., Phoenix, AZ, USA) of the tumor were reviewed.

Purpose: To describe histopathologic features of an eye with retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) secondary to age-related macular degeneration treated with serial ranibizumab injections and to correlate these findings with spectral domain optical coherence tomography.

Methods: Histopathologic features from serial sections through the globe of a 93-year-old man with age-related macular degeneration were studied and compared with spectral domain optical coherence tomography images obtained 7 weeks before his death.

Results: The pathologic correlate of ranibizumab-treated RAP was a circumscribed, branching paucicellular vascular complex extending from the inner plexiform layer to Bruch membrane.

Purpose: To report a case of local transmission of invasive lobular carcinoma from a donor to a recipient in a keratolimbal allograft after cessation of systemic immunosuppressive therapy.

Methods: This is a case report including the clinicopathologic findings. Sections of the donor breast tumor and recipient conjunctival lesions were stained with hematoxylin and eosin.
