PURPOSE: To analyze the clinical and histopathological features of retinoblastoma presenting as orbital cellulitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective analysis of case records and review of the histopathology of four patients with retinoblastoma presenting as orbital cellulitis.RES U LTS On histopathological examination, all eyes showed anterior segment involvement with extensive necrosis. One case had a well-differentiated tumor and one showed extraocular extension of the tumor. CONCLUSION: Advanced necrotic retinoblastoma with anterior segment involvement may often present as orbital cellulitis.
