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.

Medulloepithelioma

A primitive neuroectodermal tumor that originates from the cells of the embryonic medullary canal.

Curious case of retrolental mass: An unusual tele-screening artifact.
Ranjan R, Shah PK, Narendran V.
Indian J Ophthalmol. 2019;67(3):415-416.
During final follow-up at 41 weeks of postconceptional age, anterior segment image captured with RetCam showed a retrolental mass lesion in right eye resembling retinoblastoma or medulloepithelioma.

Orbital medulloepithelioma in an adult patient: Radiation-induced second neoplasia?
Thottian AG, Benson R, Kashyap S, Haresh KP, Gupta S, Sharma D, Rath GK.
Orbit. 2016;35(6):313-316.
Though the incidence of second malignancies is common in retinoblastoma, medulloepithelioma as a second malignancy in retinoblastoma survivors is rare, with only one case reported so far.

Atypical clinical presentation and long-term survival in a patient with optic nerve medulloepithelioma: a case report.
Pastora-Salvador N, Abelairas-Gomez J, Peralta-Calvo J, Garcia-Fernandez E, Morales-Bastos C, Asencio-Duran M, Carceller-Benito F.
J Med Case Rep. 2012;6:123.
Medulloepithelioma of the optic nerve can clinically mimic more common pediatric tumors, such as optic glioma, meningioma, or retinoblastoma.

Diffuse anterior retinoblastoma without retinal involvement.
Longmuir SQ, Syed NA, Boldt HC.
Ophthalmology. 2010;117(10):2034-8.
The patient underwent fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of anterior chamber fluid, the results of which were consistent with a primitive neuroectodermal neoplasm, either retinoblastoma or medulloepithelioma.

Anterior-segment retinoblastoma mimicking pseudoinflammatory angle-closure glaucoma: review of the literature and the important role of imaging.
Saket RR, Mafee MF.
AJNR Am J Neuroradiol. 2009;30(8):1607-9.
We discuss the patient management and review the literature, with emphasis on the role of CT and MR imaging in evaluating pediatric angle-closure glaucoma and in influencing the management of patients with retinoblastoma and medulloepithelioma.

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol. 2009;30(8):1607-9.
A ciliary body mass was later detected on MR imaging, suggestive of medulloepithelioma but pathologically proved to be diffuse infiltrating retinoblastoma.

Knottenbelt DC, Hetzel U, Roberts V.

Neuroepithelial tumor of the retina in a dog.
Jensen OA, Kaarsholm S, Prause JU, Heegaard S.
Vet Ophthalmol. 2003;6(1):57-60.
The tumor originated from the retina and was composed of two different morphologic parts, a retinoblastoma-like part of small neuroepithelial cells and a medulloepithelioma-like part of columnar cells arranged in cords.

Recurrent medulloepithelioma of the ciliary body. Immunohistochemical characteristics.
Kivela T, Tarkkanen A.
Ophthalmology. 1988;95(11):1565-75.
The results suggest that even a nonteratoid medulloepithelioma may be, unlike retinoblastoma, a truly multipotential tumor.
