“…However, granulomas typically appear with vitreous traction and they are never associated with anterior chamber seeds. 16 On the other hand, RBs have a continuous growth, and in their late onset form they lack calcification. 15 The differential diagnosis of toxocara granuloma and RB can be very difficult, especially when there is a history of exposure to puppies and soil.…”

We report the case of a 12-year-old girl, who presented with floaters and a white-to-cream peripheral retinal mass in her left eye. No intrinsic calcifications in B-scan ultrasonography and CT scan of the orbits were present and MRI showed a homogenously enhancing peripheral retinal mass with restricted diffusion. Due to close contact with puppies, the patient was initially treated for ocular toxocariasis. However, one month later she developed anterior chamber seeding and anterior chamber tap showed group E retinoblastoma (RB). This case underlines that RB may occur in older ages with atypical manifestations, such as uveitis and absence of calcifications.

“…Shields et alreported on a 16-year-old girl who had a positive toxocara titer, but finally the clinical features of the lesion posed the diagnosis of RB. 16 Masoomian et al . also presented two patients with RB who were initially misdiagnosed as OT and underwent a series of unnecessary procedures.…”
