Abstract:
The occurrence of secondary malignant neoplasia remains the most important long-term risk but rare of retinoblastoma. Osteosarcoma represents the most frequent second malignant tumor. We report here a case of a right femur osteosarcoma in a 7 years and half old-boy after being treated for retinoblastoma at two years of age. The treatment consisted of chemotherapy and conservative surgery with intercalary tumor resection and reconstruction by two autologous fibulas. Three years after, the child died from pleural metastasis.The purpose of this report is to review the genetic relationship between retinoblastoma and osteosarcoma and to discuss treatment protocol for the latter.
