Retinoblastoma usually manifests before five years of age. Retinoblastoma in an adult is extremely rare. Twenty-three cases of retinoblastoma in adults 20 years or older have been reported in world literature. We report a case of adult onset retinoblastoma in a 29-year-old female. Our patient had unilateral endophytic retinoblastoma with vitreous seeds and calcification on ultrasonography. She underwent enucleation with silicone ball implantation and the diagnosis was confirmed histopathologically. The diagnosis of retinoblastoma should be kept in mind in cases presenting with a white mass lesion of unknown etiology, in the fundus of an adult.
视网膜母细胞瘤通常在五岁前发病。成人视网膜母细胞瘤极为罕见。世界文献中已报道23例20岁及以上成人患视网膜母细胞瘤的病例。我们报告一例29岁女性成人期发病的视网膜母细胞瘤病例。我们的患者患有单侧内生性视网膜母细胞瘤,超声检查显示有玻璃体种植和钙化。她接受了眼球摘除术并植入硅胶球,组织病理学检查确诊。对于成人眼底出现病因不明的白色肿块病变的病例,应考虑视网膜母细胞瘤的诊断。
