Choroidal Infiltration by Retinoblastoma: Predictive Clinical Features and Outcome.
Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus 2016 November 2
PURPOSE: To identify the clinical features predictive of choroidal infiltration by retinoblastoma on histopathology and to report the outcome in these patients.
METHODS: Retrospective study.
RESULTS: Of the 403 patients who underwent primary enucleation for retinoblastoma, 113 patients had choroidal tumor infiltration and 290 patients had no choroidal tumor infiltration. There was a higher incidence of metastasis and related death in the choroidal tumor infiltration group compared to the no choroidal tumor infiltration group (4% vs 1%; P = .02). On multivariate analysis, the clinical features predictive of histopathologic massive choroidal infiltration included prolonged duration of symptoms for more than 6 months (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.04; P = .001) and secondary glaucoma (HR = 2.24; P = .005).
CONCLUSIONS: In this study, the patients with retinoblastoma with prolonged duration of symptoms (> 6 months) had a three-fold greater risk and those with secondary glaucoma at presentation had a two-fold greater risk of massive choroidal tumor infiltration.
