Abstract
In 1908 Fuchs1gave the name of dictyoma to a malignant tumor of the ciliary epithelium which had the structure of the embryonic retina. As the cardinal properties of this tumor he described : Cellular membranes consisting of cylindric epithelium, with the nuclei arranged in two or more rows, and their axes standing vertically to the surface of the membrane. On the free surface of these cellular membranes a structureless membrane corresponding to the membrana limitans interna of the retina. Cellular membranes consisting of one row of cells, their nuclei arranged in a single row. Solid masses of cells, much like those found in glioma retinae, and rosettes. Infiltrative growth of the tumor, especially into the sclera and the cornea. Fuchs himself collected 4 cases from the contemporary literature. These were the cases described by Badal and Lagrange2(1892), Emanuel3(1900), Verhoeff4
