Abstract

Six patients with histologically proven retinoblastomas were examined by computed tomography, two at the time of initial diagnosis and four from 2 to 30 years following treatment, which consisted of radiation therapy alone or with surgery. The spectrum of computed tomographic findings includes: calcified retinal tumor, intracranial subarachnoid spread of tumor, radiation-induced tumors (papillary adenocarcinoma and undifferentiated sarcoma) in the field of prior radiation, and second, primary central nervous system tumor, a pineoblastoma.
