Abstract

Purpose: To report an unusual manifestation of RETINOBLASTOMA in a 12-year-old boy. Patient and findings: A 12-year-old boy was referred to an ophthalmologist with redness and decreased visual acuity in his right eye. On examination, visual acuity was 2/10 and 2+ cell in the anterior chamber with 3+ cell in the vitreous were detected. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was within normal limits and the retina seemed normal. Topical, oral, and subtenon steroid therapy was started. After 10 weeks, vitreous opacity increased, lens opacity (posterior subcapsular cataract) developed, and IOP was elevated in spite of antiglaucoma medications. Deep vitrectomy with lensectomy was performed. No malignant cell was seen in vitreous aspirate. After operation, vitreous inflammation increased, IOP rised, and visual acuity decreased to light perception. Six months later, the patient referred with no light perception, proptosis, corneal ulcer, and limitation of eye movement, and enucleation was done. Pathological examination of specimens showed presence of a small cell tumor with rosette formation in favor of RETINOBLASTOMA with involvement of the optic nerve at the cut end. The patient received one course of chemotherapy. Conclusion: Diffuse infiltrating RETINOBLASTOMA is a rare type of tumor which usually presents late and should be considered in any atypical UVEITIS in children. If vitrectomy is performed before diagnosis, radiotherapy with or without adjunctive chemotherapy is recommended after enucleation to prevent metastasis.
