眼窩内に転移した褐色芽細胞腫（Pheochromoblastoma）の1剖検例

An autopsy case of adrenal pheochromoblastoma with metastasis to the orbit

　褐色芽細胞腫Pheochromoblastomaは副腎髄質乃至傍神経節の腫瘍であり，好んで広汎な血行性転移を来す。しかし眼症状を呈することは甚だ稀なもののようで"我々が調査しえた範囲内では，内外の眼科文献にその例を見ない。ここに報告するものは，臨床的には海綿静脈洞血栓性静脈炎と考えられ，剖検によつて本症の眼窩内転移であることが判明した症例である。

The present paper deals with an autopsycase of metastatic pheochromoblastoma of the right orbit confirmed in a case of 61-year-old male with left adrenal tumor. The orbital tumor was not revealed through the clinical course and the clinical findings were comparable to those of cavernous sinus thro-mbosis. This seemed to be the first case of metastatic pheochromoblastoma of the orbit ever reported in the ophthalmologic literature in Japan as well as in European and American countries.
