Retinoblastoma, microphthalmia, coloboma, and neuroepithelioma of the pineal body.

A one-month-old infant boy was examined early in life because his mother had bilateral retinoblastoma and his father had bilateral microphthalmia. The ophthalmologist found his right eye was normal size with a coloboma of the iris, choroid, and retina. The left eye was microphthalmic with a coloboma of the uveal tract and retina. A vascularized fluffy white mass in the posterior pole was diagnosed clinically as a retinoblastoma. The tumor regressed with radiation. When the patient was four years of age, a large tumor was found in the region of the pineal recess, causing hydrocephalus and seizures. A biopsy showed an undifferentiated malignant neuroepithelial neoplasm. The patient died within three months of diffuse central nervous system tumor. The unusual findings of a retinoblastoma in a microphthalmic eye with bilateral colobomas and a neuroepithelial neoplasm of the pineal gland are discussed.
