RODRIGUEZ RODRIGUEZ, Beatriz N.  y  VIGOA ARANGUREN, Lázaro. Atypic retinoblastoma: apropos of a case. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2003, vol.16, n.1. ISSN 0864-2176.

An atypic case of unilateral retinoblastoma was reported in an 11-year-old girl that was seen due to a vitreal hemorrhage at first. The ultrasound did not help to make a diagnosis. Later on, a total spontaneous hyphema with uncontrollable ocular hypertension appeared that led surgeons to perform enucleation. By the anatomopathological study, it was concluded that it was a little differentiated retinoblastoma with an extensive area of necrosis and intratumoral hemorrhage.
