Abstract
Malignant histiocytosis (MH) is a rapidly fatal systemic disease for which there is no adequate therapy. A case of MH with involvement of both eyes resulting in bilateral blindness is presented. Infiltration with malignant cells was seen in the ciliary bodies at autopsy. Attempts at treatment for this complication are discussed.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
