Spontaneous regression of retinoblastoma. 1977

A A Khodadoust, and H M Roozitalab, and R E Smith, and W R Green

Clinicopathologic evidence of bilateral spontaneous regression of retinoblastoma in three brothers is presented. The buphthalmic right eye and phthisical left eye of one of these persons were examined histopathologically. The two brothers of this patient both had phthisical left eyes, and those eyes were examined histopathologically. Both of those brothers also had clinically detected chorioretinal scars in their right eyes from regressed retinoblastoma. Three of eight children of one of the two brothers had bilateral retinoblastoma, and two of seven children of the other brother had bilateral retinoblastoma. Reports in the literature of 50 previous cases of total spontaneous regression of retinoblastoma from 1911 to 1975 are reviewed.
