Solitary retinal astrocytoma.

A two-year-old female child presented with a left retinal mass in front of the optic disc and total serous retinal detachment. Enucleation was performed for suspected retinoblastoma. Histopathologically the tumour was composed of astrocytic giant cells with a few spindle-shaped astrocytes. Presence of multiple necrotic foci in the tumour resembling micro-abscesses and extension of tumour cells beyond lamina cribrosa were additional unusual features.
