J C Liang, J J Augsburger, J A Shields

    Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    A child presented with unilateral leukocoria, a white pupil, indicating a potential eye tumor. Diagnosis revealed retinoblastoma associated with persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous and retinal detachment.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatric Oncology
    • Medical Genetics

    Background:

    • Persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV) is a congenital developmental anomaly of the eye.
    • Retinoblastoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in children.

    Observation:

    • A two-and-a-half-year-old male child presented with unilateral leukocoria.
    • Clinical examination suggested a mild form of PHPV with total retinal detachment and exophytic retinoblastoma.

    Findings:

    • The enucleated eye revealed diffuse infiltrating retinoblastoma.
    • Tumor cells were found involving a stalk of persistent primary vitreous without hyperplasia.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of early detection of leukocoria in children.

  • Understanding the association between PHPV and retinoblastoma is crucial for diagnosis and treatment planning.
  • Further research into the genetic and developmental factors underlying this co-occurrence is warranted.
