Bilateral retinoblastoma with de novo constitutional balanced translocation t(2;9)(q11;p11). 1984

P Balestrazzi, and M G Mattei, and M A Baeteman, and J F Mattei, and F Giraud

The case of a 6-year-old boy with bilateral retinoblastoma (RB) and apparently de novo balanced translocation t(2;9)(q11;p11) is presented. The normality of 13q14 chromosome region has been confirmed using high resolution techniques and Esterase D assay. The hypothesis that this RB might be correlated to the translocation is discussed.

D012175 Retinoblastoma A malignant tumor arising from the nuclear layer of the retina that is the most common primary tumor of the eye in children. The tumor tends to occur in early childhood or infancy and may be present at birth. The majority are sporadic, but the condition may be transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. Histologic features include dense cellularity, small round polygonal cells, and areas of calcification and necrosis. An abnormal pupil reflex (leukokoria); NYSTAGMUS, PATHOLOGIC; STRABISMUS; and visual loss represent common clinical characteristics of this condition.
