Abstract
Diffuse anterior retinoblastoma is an infrequent presentation in which the tumor is confined to the anterior segment, and there is no retinal mass. An 18-month-old Asian Indian boy presented with white spots in the left eye. There were extensive anterior segment seeds without a retinal tumor. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of retinoblastoma, and the patient received intravenous chemotherapy with a combination of vincristine-carboplatin-etoposide, periocular topotecan, and intravitreal topotecan to achieve complete tumor regression.
