Though survival in bilateral retinoblastoma (RB) has improved due to advancement in diagnostics and treatment modalities, children require long-term follow-ups for recurrence and second malignancies. We report a case of bilateral RB in a 7-month-old baby who was treated with chemotherapy, transpupillary thermotherapy, and periocular carboplatin for both eyes following which there was complete regression of tumour. Six and a half years after treatment, the child presented with metastatic recurrence of tumour in the left ulna. He was treated successfully with chemotherapy, extracorporeal radiation and reimplantation therapy. A less aggressive treatment approach for isolated bone relapse may be considered in selected cases.

✓ Trilateral retinoblastomas, the syndrome of bilateral retinoblastoma associated with ectopic retinoblastoma in the pineal gland, is rare but well recognized. In contrast to bilateral retinoblastomas alone, the ocular retinoblastomas in trilateral retinoblastoma develop before the age of 6 months, and a family history positive for retinoblastoma is usually obtained. The retinal tumors are often quiescent at the time that the pineal tumor is discovered, and show no evidence of metastatic spread after enucleation of the globes. Pathologically, the pineal tumor is indistinguishable from the ocular retinoblastoma. The pathophysiology of this syndrome is not well understood, but a germinal mutation is thought to target photoreceptor tissue for further postzygotic mutation. Eventual expression depends on the inherited host resistance to the carcinogenic manifestation of these genes. The low host resistance of trilateral retinoblastoma is evident by the early age of presentation, the multicentric occurrence of the tumor, and the high early mortality rate despite aggressive management.
