Abstract

PURPOSE
It has been known that retinoblastoma very rarely produces a dislocated lens. We report herein a case of retinoblastoma with a dislocated lens. METHODS: A 2-year-old boy developed left conjunctival injection and discharge for 3 days. Anterior segment examination, B-scan ultrasonography, orbital computed tomography were performed. RESULTS: Anterior segment examination revealed whitish floating materials in anterior chamber. B-scan ultrasonography demonstrated a vitreous opacity and intraocular mass. Orbital computed tomography revealed the lens dislocated in vitreous cavity and nasally calcified intraocular mass in the left globe. Enucleation was performed under the impression of retinoblastoma and histopathologic examination demonstrated endophytic retinoblastoma with lens dislocation. CONCLUSIONS: We report a case of retinoblastoma with dislocated lens which has been very rarely reported.

Key Words: Lens dislocation;Retinoblastoma
