Five retinocytoma cases diagnosed over 75 months are reported. The mean age at diagnosis was 193.2 months. Two cases were unilateral, one was bilateral and two exhibited retinoblastoma in the fellow eye. Clinical and ophthalmoscopic aspects, genetical implications and the need of treatment and continuous follow-up of retinocytoma patients are discussed.

Retinocytomas are benign tumors that arise from mutations in the gene. Previous research describes the appearance of retinocytomas as that of treated retinoblastoma (Rb) lesions, with characteristics such as chorioretinal atrophy, calcification, and a lack of necrosis or mitotic activity on histopathology. We present the unusual case of an asymptomatic seven-year-old girl with two independent translucent masses in the peripheral retina of the right eye (OD) and extensive intraretinal tumor and vitreous seeds.

Retinoblastoma is the most common ocular malignancy in children, considered fatal without treatment. Retinocytoma is a rare benign clinical entity of retinoblastoma that shows signs of tumor regression. The clinical presentation of retinocytoma usually includes a gray translucent mass, intralesional calcification, and retinal pigment epithelial alteration, along with the presence of chorioretinal atrophy.

We report a 46-year-old male patient with retinocytoma who presented at the age of 31 asymptomatically. An intraocular retinal mass was incidentally found in his right eye, when he underwent ophthalmological assessment for refractive surgery. This tumor consisted of a calcified sessile basis partially covered by a pedunculated salmon-pink growth.

Retinoma or retinocytoma is a spontaneously arrested or spontaneously regressed variant of retinoblastoma. With the advent of the latest non-invasive imaging techniques, it is possible to evaluate the microstructural and microvascular changes associated with this tumour. Although there are a few reports which describe the imaging findings in retinocytoma, information regarding retinocytoma on the multicolour imaging is lacking.
