Germline retinoblastoma without inherited gene mutation: a case report.

2014 
: Retinoblastoma is the most common primary ocular malignancy in childhood and can occur as a germline or somatic mutation. Recent studies have suggested a higher incidence of retinoblastoma in Hispanic children as compared to non-Hispanic white children of the same ages. We report the ocular findings of a 20 years old Hispanic male with a history of bilateral retinoblastoma. Although screening is currently performed with the red reflex test, analysis of current literature suggests the need to reassess screening recommendations for retinoblastoma.
