ABSTRACT

We describe the case of a 9-month old boy with unilateral retinoblastoma and bulftalmo. Primary enucleation was the treatment of choice due to the lack of visual prognosis. The histology of the enucleated eye showed massive choroidal invasion by the tumor and the optic nerve free of neoplastic tissue. Therefore, no adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy was indicated. Three months after the enucleation, the patient returned with massive orbital retinoblastoma with exposure of the conjunctiva. Treated with chemotherapy, the patient has been in remission for 12 months. The risk factors for orbital recurrence are discussed.


Relatamos paciente de 9 meses de idade com buftalmo e retinoblastoma unilateral. O paciente foi tratado com enucleação primária devido à falta de prognóstico visual. O exame do olho enucleado mostrou invasão maciça de coroide e ausência de comprometimento do nervo óptico não sendo, portanto, submetido a tratamento adjuvante de quimioterapia ou de radioterapia. Três meses após a enucleação, o paciente apresentou-se com retinoblastoma orbitário volumoso com exposição da conjuntiva. Tratado com quimioterapia permanece em remissão após 12 meses. São discutidos os fatores de risco para a ocorrência da recidiva orbitária.
