| Summary: | Diffuse anterior retinoblastoma (Rb) is a rare variant of this tumor which may involve the anterior chamber of the eye without any detectable mass in the posterior segment. The initial presentation of this tumor as anterior segment pathology may lead to misdiagnosis and erroneous management eventually delaying the definitive therapy. We describe an 8-year-old child presenting with complicated cataract who underwent lens aspiration and later found to have diffuse anterior Rb. |
