In a morphological survey of 73 human retinae spanning 9 decades, and including 20 retinae which were obtained from eyes enucleated for malignant melanomas, nodular excrescences were noted in the outer segments of rods with an incidence which increased with age. These structures were sectioned in both their vertical and horizontal axes and on electron microscopical examination were seen to result from the localised convolution of affected outer segments. The topographic morphology of such convolutions is described and their modes of formation are discussed.
在一项对9个十年间的73例人类视网膜进行的形态学调查中，其中包括从因恶性黑色素瘤而摘除的眼球中获取的20例视网膜，发现视杆细胞外段存在结节状赘生物，其发生率随年龄增长而增加。这些结构在垂直和水平轴上都进行了切片，经电子显微镜检查发现，它们是由受影响的外段局部卷曲形成的。描述了这种卷曲的地形形态，并讨论了它们的形成方式。
