ABSTRACT
Retinoblastoma is one of the most frequent malignant intraocular
tumors in the pediatric age group, and it is possible
that there is affectation to other sites such as the contralateral
eye, hence, it is important to maintain periodic controls even
after being diagnosed and treated.
Currently it is known that this pathology can be either
hereditary or spontaneous and has an important genetic
component, specifically a mutation of the tumor-suppressor
gene called
RB1, which is also associated with other diseases.
