- Coats' disease, disciform macular lesion
- Description
- Coats' disease with disciform macular lesion. There is accumulation of periodic acid-Schiff-positive staining material within and under the retina peripherally (upper left), in association with telangiectatic retinal vessels (arrow , upper right) . A fibrous nodule is present under the retina in the macular area (lower views). The laminated appearance and partial pigmentation suggest that this fibrous nodule is in part derived from hyperplastic retinal pigment epithelium (lower right).
