Clinicopathologic Correlation of a Subretinal Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy Band in a Patient with Chronic Recurrent Retinal Detachment

Conclusions and Importance: This case report presents further information on the structure and orientation of the cellular components of subretinal band proliferative vitreoretinopathy. Cells suggestive of M üller cell differentiation compose the central aspect of the band, alongside collagen fibers. RPE differentiation is variably present peripherally in the band, likely reflective of proliferating RPE encircling the subretinal fibrous tissue. A mild amount of myofibroblastic differentiation was prese nt within the band of tissue, correlating with the clinical findings of subretinal tissue contraction and localized retinal detachment.Case Rep Ophthalmol 2018;9:279 –282
