Intraokulare Raumforderungen im Kindesalter ohne Retinoblastom

Abstract

The diagnosis of an intraocular mass in children can be challenging as invasive procedures are not allowed, in particular if a retinoblastoma may be present. In eyes with a unilateral tumour mass and loss of function enucleation with subsequent histopathological processing might be the only option to establish a diagnosis and to exclude a malignant tumour. The present paper deals with intraocular tumours other than retinoblastoma in children, with a special focus on the correlation of modern imaging techniques and histopathological findings.

Long-Term Clinical Results and Management following Vitrectomy in Undetected Retinoblastoma Eyes

“…Shields et al [14] published their data on 604 cases of so-called pseudo retinoblastomas and found the most common diagnoses to be Coats disease, persistent fetal vasculature, ocular toxocariasis and vitreous haemorrhage. We also analysed 31 cases of advanced stages of unilateral undetermined ocular tumours in childhood treated with enucleation and found the main diagnoses to be Coats disease, astrocytoma, medulloepithelioma or an undetected atypical retinoblastoma [15]. A specific form of the atypical tumour is the so-called diffuse infiltrating retinoblastoma, which is a very rare subtype of this neoplasm and is characterized by its atypical growth pattern.…”
