    Description
    Gross pathology photo of a Bergmeister Papilla. It is a remnant of incompletely resorbed hyaloid vasculature from ocular development. This glial tissue is seen emminating from the optic nerve, which also shows glaucomatous cupping. The eye was enucleated due to a choroidal melanoma.
