Retinoblastoma usually recurs within the first few years after treatment completion. We report a rare case of very late relapse in a 6-month-old girl who was diagnosed with bilateral retinoblastoma. The patient achieved first remission after treatment with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, enucleation of the right eye, local laser therapy of the left eye, and adjuvant chemotherapy. Extraocular relapse with multiple metastases occurred 13 years and 8 months after treatment. The patient is currently in second complete remission after receiving high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation. In conclusion, long-term follow-up is needed for early detection of recurrent retinoblastoma.
视网膜母细胞瘤通常在治疗结束后的头几年内复发。我们报告了一例罕见的极晚期复发病例,患者为一名6个月大的双侧视网膜母细胞瘤女孩。该患者在接受新辅助化疗、右眼摘除、左眼局部激光治疗及辅助化疗后首次缓解。治疗13年零8个月后出现眼外复发并伴有多处转移。该患者在接受大剂量化疗和自体干细胞移植后目前处于第二次完全缓解状态。总之,需要进行长期随访以早期发现复发性视网膜母细胞瘤。
