Abstract:
The case of an asymptomatic 29-year-old male patient with bilateral multiple retinomas is described. Initially misdiagnosed as unilateral pathological myopia 10 years earlier, his ocular tumors were recognized only when examined after detection of bilateral retinoblastoma in his daughter. There was a large gray translucent mass and extensive chorioretinal atrophy in the right fundus and four small discrete tumors in the nasal periphery of the left fundus. There was no progression over 4 years of follow-up. Timely and correct diagnosis of retinoma is essential for appropriate genetic counseling, which would minimize the risk of retinoblastoma in future generations.
