Figure 2: A: Enucleated eye with a nodular amelanotic retinal mass with respect of underlying choroid and projecting into the vitreous cavity. B: A histopathologic image of the focal reactive nodular gliosis demonstrates that the tumor consists of a mass of spindle-shaped eosinophilic astrocytes (hematoxylin and eosin, 400 X). C: Note the abnormal sclerotic blood vessels with thickened and hyalinized wall (black arrow) (hematoxylin and eosin, 100 X). D: Immunohistochemistry for GFAP. Glial fibrillary acid protein is strongly expressed in the components of the spindle cells (glial tissue marker).
