Two cases of unilateral pediatric proptosis: A diagnostic challenge

Abstract

Pediatric proptosis often presents with confusing clinical features requiring a systematic approach to avoid diagnostic dilemmas. We present two children of retinoblastoma and congenital uveal malignant melanoma, with late presentation. Through this article, we highlight the importance of systematic clinical examination, appropriate investigations for executing timely treatment, clinical correlation, and the value of histopathologic examination.
