Sažetak
Isolated intraocular histiocytosis is a rare disease that may manifest by recurrent uveitis and solid subretinal
masses. The course, diagnosis and treatment of isolated intraocular histiocytosis in a 12-year-old girl are presented. As
extensive diagnosis and therapy with corticosteroids and tuberculostatics failed to produce satisfactory results, diagnostic-
therapeutic vitrectomy was performed. The intraoperatively obtained material was examined by the methods of
histopathology, cytology and immunocytochemistry, along with herpes and cytomegalovirus polymerase chain reaction.
The vitreous inflammatory exudate and subretinal masses were operatively removed. Analysis of the intraoperatively
obtained material pointed to histiocytosis, whereas additional examinations revealed no systemic manifestations
of the disease. Chronic uveitides that respond poorly to classic immunosuppressive therapy require multidisciplinary
analysis of intraocular material. Pars plana vitrectomy is an appropriate diagnostic-therapeutic operative procedure.
