Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A 10-month-old boy who presented with strabismus and symptoms of intracranial hypertension was found to have a pineoblastoma and a unilateral ocular retinoblastoma. Despite enucleation of the eye, subtotal removal of the pineoblastoma, and craniospinal axis irradiation, the patient died 6 months later from disseminated intracranial neoplasm. As there was no clinical evidence of bilateral retinoblastoma, this case may represent a forme fruste of the trilateral retinoblastoma complex. The clinicopathological features of this unusual syndrome are reviewed.
