Malignant neoplasm: retina - what does this mean

Malignant neoplasm of the retina occurs when abnormal cells in the retina divide and grow in an uncontrolled way, leading to the formation of a tumor. this tumor can cause vision loss or damage to the surrounding structures, and may require surgical removal.

What happens during the disease - malignant neoplasm: retina

Malignant neoplasm of the retina is caused by the abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells in the retina. this growth is caused by genetic mutations that can be inherited or acquired from environmental factors, such as exposure to radiation or certain chemicals. these mutations cause the cells to grow and divide rapidly, forming a tumor that can destroy healthy tissue and impair vision. if left untreated, the tumor may spread to other parts of the eye or to other organs in the body.
