Establishment of the relationship between tumor size and range of histological involvement to evaluate the rationality of current retinoblastoma management.
<h4>Purpose</h4>To determine whether tumor size correlates with histopathological involvement and hence evaluate the rationality of conservative treatment for retinoblastoma.<h4>Methods</h4>We retrospectively studied 221 patients (221 eyes) treated for retinoblastoma with enu...

Histopathological data included involvement of the anterior chamber, sclera, choroids, and optic nerve. Tumor size was measured by B-ultrasound examination.<h4>Results</h4>Tumor invasion of the optic nerve correlated with the Reese-Ellsworth (R-E) staging system and the International Classification for Retinoblastoma (ICRB): optic nerve involvement was significantly more frequent in R-E stage V (P = 0.009) and ICRB Group E (P = 0.002) cases. However, 19.1% of patients with R-E stage I, II and III, and 16.7% of patients with ICRB Group B and C disease showed histopathological involvement of the postlaminar optic nerve. Extraocular involvement was observed in 17.7% of tumors ≤ 15 mm in diameter. Tumors >15 mm in diameter showed greater extraocular involvement, including the optic nerve (P = 0.000) and sclera (P = 0.032), than tumors ≤ 15 mm in diameter. Postlaminar optic nerve invasion was observed in 19.6% of tumors ≤ 10 mm in thickness. Tumors >10 mm in thickness had sclera involvement more frequently than tumors ≤ 10 mm in thickness (P = 0.029).
