Choroidal ganglioneuroma- An exceptionally rare choroidal tumor in a child

Abstract

A 3-year-old male child presented with decreased vision in the right eye. There was an elevated, white mass lesion with heterogeneous lucent areas and focal pigmentation arising from the choroid with irregular margins and subretinal fluid inferiorly. Infective etiologies were ruled out. There was no tumor elsewhere in the body that could have caused a metastasis to the choroid. In view of the non-resolving subretinal fluid and inconclusive diagnosis, the child underwent choroidal biopsy. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry clinched the rare diagnosis of ganglioneuroma of choroid. The child was genetically negative for Neurofibromatosis.
