Introduction: Retinoblastoma is a serious childhood intraocular neoplasm that can be diagnosed clinically with the aid of B-scan ultrasound, and radiological examination. On the other hand, the differential diagnosis includes benign and other masquerading conditions such as uveitis and endophthalmitis thus adding challenge to the proper diagnosis.
Presentation Of Case: A six-year-old girl presented with leukocoria and decreased vision of the right eye.
Background: Retinoblastoma (RB) is an intraocular malignant tumor detected in early childhood with variable global impact. Histopathological classification of the tumor in enucleated globes with RB is the key for the decision of adjuvant chemotherapy use. We aim to validate the use of adjuvant chemotherapy in cases with combined pre-laminar/intralaminar optic nerve (ON) invasion and focal choroidal invasion according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 8th classification.
