Retinoblastoma

A rare eye tumor disease representing the most common intraocular malignancy in children. It is a life threatening neoplasia but is potentially curable and it can be hereditary or non hereditary, unilateral or bilateral.

Hamartoma

A disordered proliferation of mature tissues that is native to the site of origin, e.g., exostoses, nevi and soft tissue hamartomas. Although most hamartomas are benign, some histologic subtypes, e.g., neuromuscular hamartoma, may proliferate aggressively such as mesenchymal cystic hamartoma, Sclerosing epithelial hamartoma, Sclerosing metanephric hamartoma.

Morales MS, Tartarella MB, Gouveia EB, Mandello MH, Allemann N.
Arq Bras Oftalmol. 2015;78(5):320-2.
Performed ultrasound that remained a doubt with the following diagnostic hypotheses: persistent hiperplastic primary vitreous, granuloma (toxocara), astrocytic hamartoma and retinoblastoma.

Presumed solitary circumscribed retinal astrocytic proliferation: the 2010 Jonathan W. Wirtschafter Lecture.
Shields JA, Bianciotto CG, Kivela T, Shields CL.
Arch Ophthalmol. 2011;129(9):1189-94.
Presumed solitary circumscribed retinal astrocytic proliferation appears to be a unique retinal lesion of adulthood that resembles astrocytic hamartoma or retinoblastoma but displays distinctive ophthalmoscopic features.

Astrocytic hamartoma: a case report.
Yudcovitch LB, Lahiff JM, Ochiltree AJ.
Clin Exp Optom. 2008;91(2):187-92.
The most important differential diagnosis that must excluded is retinoblastoma, which can closely resemble astrocytic hamartoma.

Combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium as the presenting sign of neurofibromatosis-1.
Tsai P, O'Brien JM.
Ophthalmic Surg Lasers. 2000;31(2):145-7.
Combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelimicrom, a rare and benign tumor, can be easily mistaken for malignant processes such as retinoblastoma or choroidal melanoma.

Retinal hamartoma in oral-facial-digital syndrome.
Tsai PS, O'Brien JM.
Arch Ophthalmol. 1999;117(7):963-5.
Physical examination and imaging studies of the retinal masses could not differentiate between retinoblastoma, hamartoma, or persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous.

Atypical retinal astrocytic hamartoma diagnosed by fine-needle biopsy.
Shields JA, Shields CL, Ehya H, Buckley E, De Potter P.
Ophthalmology. 1996;103(6):949-52.
Fine-needle aspiration biopsy is diagnostically useful in unusual cases where the differential diagnosis between retinoblastoma and astrocytic hamartoma is difficult.
