PURPOSE: To study the clinical profile of patients who underwent bilateral enucleation for retinoblastoma (RB). METHODS: Retrospective study of 14 cases. RESULTS: Of >3000 RB cases, 14 (<1%) underwent bilateral enucleation for treatment of RB. The mean age at diagnosis of RB was 26 months (median, 24 months; range, 5–72 months). All patients had bilateral RB at presentation. Intraocular RB was evident in 23 (82%) eyes and orbital tumor extension was noted in 5 (18%) eyes. Based on the International Classification of Intraocular RB, tumors were classified as Group B (n = 1; 4%), D (n = 4; 14%), or E (n = 14; 50%) at presentation. Based on the International RB Staging System, tumors were classified as Stage 1 (n = 23; 82%) or Stage 3 (n = 5; ...
