Fig. 1. Drawing shows types of tumor extension in recurrent
retinoblastoma. Three growth patterns are present in recurrent retinoblastoma:
intraocular tumor (type A), intraorbital tumor with local spread into optic
nerve (type B), and tumor extending to lateral aspect of orbit and invading
brain via sphenoidal bone (type C).

Fig. 2. 2-year-old boy with recurrent retinoblastoma who underwent
enucleation of left eye and irradiation of both eyes. Axial T2-weighted image
(TR/TE, 4000/118) shows soft-tissue mass in right globe (type A). Tumor
(arrowheads) shows heterogeneous high signal intensity relative to
temporal muscle.

Fig. 3. 3-year-old boy with recurrent retinoblastoma who underwent
irradiation of left eye. Axial contrast-enhanced T1-weighted image (TR/TE,
630/15) shows recurrent tumor (arrowheads) that extended into optic
nerve (type B) with heterogeneous enhancement.

Fig. 4. 6-year-old boy with recurrent retinoblastoma who underwent
enucleation and irradiation of left eye. Axial contrast-enhanced T1-weighted
image (TR/TE, 600/15) shows tumor extension (arrows) through greater
wing of sphenoid to middle cranial fossa (type C).

Fig. 5. 4-year-old boy with recurrent retinoblastoma who underwent
enucleation, irradiation, and chemotherapy. Coronal contrast-enhanced

(arrowheads).

Fig. 6. Osteosarcoma in 25-year-old man with hereditary
retinoblastoma who underwent enucleation, irradiation, and chemotherapy of
both eyes. Axial CT scan shows faintly calcified mass (arrowheads) of
temporal bone invading both brain and soft tissues.

Fig. 7. Rhabdomyosarcoma in 5-year-old girl with retinoblastoma who
underwent irradiation in right eye. Axial T2-weighted image (TR/TE, 5700/105)
shows well-defined soft-tissue mass arising from deep aspect of temporal
muscle. Tumor (arrowheads) shows high signal intensity relative to
muscle.

Fig. 8. Malignant fibrous histiocytoma in 16-year-old girl with
hereditary retinoblastoma who underwent enucleation and irradiation in right
eye. Axial contrast-enhanced CT scan shows irregular mass (arrow)
with bone destruction in orbit.

who underwent enucleation and irradiation. Axial contrast-enhanced T1-weighted
image (TR/TE, 600/15) shows extraaxial mass with marked enhancement adjacent
to sphenoid bone.
