- Abstract
An 8-month-old infant with advanced bilateral retinoblastoma was managed with enucleation of the right eye and chemotherapy and radiotherapy of the left eye. Three years after treatment, an ill-defined, nonpigmented mass was noted in the anophthalmic right socket. Excisional biopsy revealed an amelanotic melanoma of the conjunctiva with superficial orbital invasion. There has been no tumor recurrence during 20 months of follow-up.
