Intraocular Paraganglioma

An intraocular paraganglioma is a very rare tumor that starts inside the eye. It grows from a type of nerve cell called a chromaffin cell, which normally helps the body control stress hormones. When these cells grow out of control, they form a mass that can look like other eye tumors, such as ocular melanoma. Only four cases of intraocular paraganglioma have been described in medical papers, making this one of the rarest eye tumors ever reported PubMed.

Intraocular paraganglioma is an exceedingly rare neuroendocrine tumor arising from paraganglionic (chromaffin) cells located within the eye or orbit. These tumors are related to pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas found elsewhere in the body but occur intraocularly or intra-orbitally. Patients may present with painless vision loss, proptosis (bulging eye), or an intraocular mass discovered on routine examination. Histologically, they consist of nests (“zellballen”) of chief cells supported by sustentacular cells, and they stain positively for neuroendocrine markers such as chromogranin and synaptophysin. Diagnosis relies on imaging—ultrasound, MRI, and contrast-enhanced CT—to define the lesion, and on biopsy for definitive histopathology EyeWiki.

Paragangliomas and pheochromocytomas together are often called PPGLs. Pheochromocytomas grow in the adrenal gland above the kidney, while paragangliomas grow in nerve cell clusters outside the adrenal gland. Paragangliomas are itself quite uncommon, occurring in about 0.4 to 9.5 people per million each year EyeWikiWikipedia. When one appears inside the eye, it most often shows up in either the iris (the colored part) or the choroid (the layer behind the retina).

Types of Intraocular Paraganglioma

Although still very rare, intraocular paragangliomas have been reported in a few distinct locations within the eye:

  1. Iris paraganglioma: This type starts in the colored ring around the pupil. It was first described in 1994, when doctors removed an iris mass and found cells that matched paraganglioma on lab tests PubMed.

  2. Choroidal paraganglioma: This type grows in the pigmented layer behind the retina. In reported cases, these masses often mimic non-pigmented choroidal melanomas, making them hard to recognize without a biopsy EyeWikiPubMed.

  3. Ciliary body paraganglioma (the muscle layer that helps the eye focus): Though not yet reported in the literature, it is theoretically possible since the ciliary body contains nerve cells related to the iris and choroid.

Each type can behave differently. Iris tumors may cause visible lumps or color changes, while choroidal tumors may lead to vision loss or retinal detachment.

Causes

Most intraocular paragangliomas arise without a clear trigger. However, factors that raise the risk of developing any paraganglioma include genetic changes and familial syndromes.

Diagnostic Tests

Physical Exam

  1. Visual acuity test examines how clearly each eye sees by reading letters on a chart.

  2. Pupillary light reflex checks how the pupils respond to light, revealing nerve involvement.

  3. Intraocular pressure measurement (tonometry) tests for pressure buildup that may accompany tumors.

  4. Slit-lamp examination uses a microscope and bright light to inspect the front and back of the eye.

  5. Fundoscopic (ophthalmoscopic) exam looks at the retina and choroid for abnormal masses or detachments EyeWiki.

  4. Computed tomography (CT) of the eye and brain can show calcifications, bone involvement, and mass borders.

  5. 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT highlights neuroendocrine tumors anywhere in the body, useful if other paraganglioma sites are suspected Wikipedia.

Non-Pharmacological Treatments

Below are non-drug therapies used—often extrapolated from management of other ocular tumors—focused on local tumor control, vision preservation, or symptom relief. Each paragraph explains the therapy, its purpose, and underlying mechanism in simple terms.

  1. Plaque Brachytherapy
    A small radioactive plaque (commonly Iodine-125 or Ruthenium-106) is sewn onto the sclera next to the tumor. Its purpose is to deliver a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor, with minimal exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. The seeds emit ionizing radiation that causes DNA breaks in tumor cells, leading to cell death Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer CenterPMC.

  2. External Beam Radiotherapy (EBRT)
    EBRT uses external high-energy X-rays directed at the tumor from multiple angles. It shrinks the tumor and relieves pressure symptoms. The ionizing radiation damages the tumor’s DNA, preventing cells from dividing and causing them to die EyeWikiSpringerOpen.

  3. Proton Beam Therapy
    This modality employs charged proton particles that deposit most of their energy at a precise depth (“Bragg peak”), sparing overlying structures like the lens and optic nerve. It’s used for larger or irregularly located tumors to maximize tumor kill while protecting vision. Protons induce DNA strand breaks, leading to apoptosis (programmed cell death) SpringerOpen.

  4. Stereotactic Radiosurgery (Gamma Knife)
    Many narrow beams of gamma radiation converge on the tumor in a single session. Its purpose is to ablate small lesions non-invasively. The focused beams induce double-strand DNA breaks, triggering tumor cell death with submillimeter precision EyeWikiSpringerOpen.

  5. CyberKnife® Radiosurgery
    A robotic, image-guided system delivers multiple high-dose radiation beams from varying angles. It treats tumors not amenable to plaque placement or standard radiosurgery. The mechanism mirrors stereotactic approaches: targeted radiation causes irreparable DNA damage in tumor cells UT Southwestern Medical Center.

  6. Transpupillary Thermotherapy (TTT)
    Infrared laser light is focused through the pupil onto the tumor, heating it to around 45–60 °C. The heat denatures tumor proteins, disrupts microcirculation, and kills cells. It’s used for small, flat tumors or as an adjunct after radiation to reduce residual disease PubMedMichigan Medicine.

  7. Laser Photocoagulation
    Visible (green or diode) lasers are applied to the lesion to coagulate its blood vessels, causing ischemia and shrinkage. The absorbed light energy converts to heat, inducing coagulative necrosis. It’s most suited for very superficial lesions or feeder vessels in the orbit Cancer.org.

  8. Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)
    A photosensitizing drug (e.g., verteporfin) is given intravenously and accumulates in tumor cells. A specific wavelength of light is then shone onto the lesion, activating the drug to produce reactive oxygen species that destroy tumor cells and their vessels. This approach offers selective cytotoxicity with minimal collateral damage UT Southwestern Medical Center.

  9. Cryotherapy
    A probe cooled by liquid nitrogen or argon gas freezes the tumor tissue, forming ice crystals that rupture cell membranes and occlude blood vessels. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles cause cell death and necrosis. It’s used for accessible orbital lesions or to manage small, external tumors PMCSpecialty Vision.

  10. High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)
    Ultrasound waves converge on the tumor, raising its temperature and causing coagulative necrosis. The acoustic energy also induces mechanical disruption of cell membranes. HIFU is non-invasive and can reach deep lesions without incisions PMCCleveland Clinic.

  11. Irreversible Electroporation (IRE)
    Short, high-voltage electrical pulses create permanent nanopores in tumor cell membranes, leading to loss of homeostasis and apoptosis. The extracellular matrix remains intact, preserving nearby critical structures. IRE is emerging for tumors adjacent to optic nerves or vessels PMCWikipedia.

  12. Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
    A needle electrode is inserted into the tumor, delivering alternating current that generates frictional heat, destroying cells by coagulative necrosis. It’s image-guided and can treat tumors up to 3 cm in size in the orbit Mayo ClinicAnnals of Palliative Medicine.

  13. Microwave Ablation
    Microwaves emitted from a percutaneous antenna cause rapid oscillation of water molecules in tumor cells, producing heat and cell death. It achieves larger ablation zones faster than RFA, suitable for bulky orbital tumors PMCWikipedia.

  14. Hyperthermia Therapy
    Regional or whole-body heating to 40–43 °C sensitizes tumor cells to radiation and chemotherapy. Heat disrupts proteins and cell membranes, and induces immune responses. It’s used alongside radiotherapy to enhance tumor kill Wikipedia.

  15. Cryoimmunotherapy
    Combines cryoablation with immunomodulation. Freezing releases tumor antigens in situ, stimulating dendritic cells and T-cell responses. This can induce systemic anti-tumor immunity beyond the local lesion Wikipedia.

  16. Sonodynamic Therapy
    A sonosensitizer drug (e.g., hematoporphyrin) accumulates in tumor cells. Ultrasound activation generates reactive oxygen species, causing cell death. It offers deep penetration and selective cytotoxicity Wikipedia.

  17. Proton Microparticle Therapy
    Uses microbeams of protons to create highly localized DNA damage tracks. It’s experimental but may allow ultra-precise ablation of small, invasive tumors near critical structures SpringerOpen.

  18. Electrochemotherapy (ECT)
    Short electric pulses enhance tumor cell uptake of chemotherapeutic drugs like bleomycin, increasing their efficacy without raising systemic doses. ECT combines physical and chemical modalities for focal control PMC.

  19. Targeted Thermal Laser Therapy
    Nd:YAG or excimer lasers tuned to specific tumor chromophores produce localized heating. The goal is to coagulate tumor tissue while sparing retina and optic nerve Cancer.org.

  20. Vision Rehabilitation Therapy
    After tumor control, structured low-vision rehabilitation—including visual aids, orientation training, and occupational therapy—enhances patients’ functional vision and quality of life. While not tumor-directed, it’s a crucial non-drug intervention for long-term well-being.
