Abstract. Purpose:To report the outcome of local chemotherapy with melphalan in a case of bilateral retinoblastoma. Case:A female infant was diagnosed with bilateral retinoblastoma at the age of 1 year 9 months. The tumor was graded as Vb after Reese-Ellthworth in either eye. The tumor failed to respond to 6 courses of systemic vincristine, etoposide and carboplatin. The tumor persisted after 3 courses of chemotherapy with other agents. Both eyes then received external radiation. The right eye was treated by cryotherapy and photocoagulation. She was referred to us at the age of 2 years 10 months. Findings and Course:The right eye showed tumor with vitreal seeding. The left eye showed a tumor mass. Both eyes were treated by injection of melphalan into the vitreous and ophthalmic artery. Vitreous surgery was performed using perfusion fluid containing melphalan. Both eyes had no recurrence or metastasis of tumor when seen at the age of 3 years 10 months. Conclusion:Local chemotherapy with melphalan was developed by us and was safe and effective in a bilateral case of refractive retinoblastoma.
