Retinoblastoma in Adults: a Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract

Purpose: To report a case of adult retinoblastoma with a wrong diagnosis of melanoma. Case report: Herein, we present an adult retinoblastoma case who was misdiagnosed as melanoma in fine-needle aspiration biopsy with intravitreal hemorrhage and later neovascular glaucoma after biopsy. The diagnosis of retinoblastoma was confirmed after enucleation. Conclusion: Retinoblastoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of an intraocular mass in adults, especially when media haziness precludes adequate ophthalmoscopic visualization.
