Abstract:
Retinoblastom is the most common intraocular malignancy in childhood and the survival rate has recently been raised by an adequate method of examination and treatment. We report a case that a child having bilateral retinoblastoma treated with enucleation, external beam irradiation, and chemotherapy is diagnosed as an osteosarcoma of the distal radius 9 years after the initial treatment, and died. This case shows the regular examinations for long bone of the extremities are necessary in a child survived after the treatment of bilateral retinoblastoma.
