Abstract

AIM:To study the different types and frequency of pseudoretinoblastoma (pseudoRB) lesions who present to a retinoblastoma centre due to concern that the condition may be retinoblastoma. // METHODS: A retrospective chart review of 341 patients presenting sporadically to the Royal London Hospital from January 2009 to December 2018. // RESULTS: 220 patients (65%) were confirmed to have retinoblastoma, while 121 (35%) had pseudoRB. There were 23 differential diagnoses in total. The top 3 differential diagnoses were Coats’ disease (34%), Persistent Foetal Vasculature (PFV) (17%) and Combined Hamartoma of Retina and Retinal Pigment Epithelium (CHR-RPE) (13%). PseudoRBs differed with age at presentation. Under the age of 1 (n = 42), the most likely pseudoRB conditions were PFV (36%), Coats’ disease (17%) and CHR-RPE (12%). These conditions were also the most common simulating conditions between the ages of 1 and 2 (n = 21), but Coats’ disease was the most common in this age group (52%), followed by CHR-RPE (19%) and PFV (14%). Between the ages of 2 and 5 (n = 32), Coats’ disease remained the most common (44%) pseudoRB lesion followed by CHR-RPE (13%), or PFV, Retinal Astrocytic Hamartoma (RAH), familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) (all 6.3%). Over the age of 5 (n = 26), pseudoRBs were most likely to be Coats’ disease (35%), RAH (12%), Uveitis, CHR-RPE, FEVR (all 7.7%). // CONCLUSION: 35% of suspected retinoblastoma cases are pseudoRB conditions. Overall, Coats’ disease is the most common pseudoRB condition, followed by PFV. Hamartomas (CHR-RPE & RAH) are more prevalent in this cohort, reflecting improvements in diagnostic accuracy from referring ophthalmologists.
