چکیده
R etinoma is a benign, elevated, gray, translucent retinal mass with cottage cheese–like calcification and hyperpigmented retinal pigment epithelium. Histopathological features includeabundant fleurettes and nonproliferative cells. We report a case in which an underlying retinoma was revealed by collapse and massive vitreous dispersion of the overlying unilateral retinoblastoma after 1 cycle of chemotherapy. Pathological analysis of the enucleated eye confirmed retinoma.

متن کاملRB1 gene mutations in Argentine retinoblastoma patients. Implications for genetic counseling
Retinoblastoma (RB) is an inherited childhood ocular cancer caused by mutations in the tumor suppressor RB1 gene. Identification of RB1 mutations is essential to assess the risk of developing retinoblastoma in the patients´ relatives. Retinoblastoma is a potentially curable cancer and an early diagnosis is critical for survival and eye preservation. Unilateral retinoblastoma is mostly non-herit...
