Abstract
The clinical and histological findings in 6 patients whose complaints had been wrongly diagnosed out of 91 patients in whom a retinoblastoma had been diagnosed at the ophthalmopathological laboratory of the University Eye hospital in Utrecht [The Netherlands] between 1960 and 1981 are discussed. In 6 other cases the diagnosis was doubtful. All the cases occurred before 1974. The faulty diagnoses were spontaneously necrotized retinoblastoma, congenital anomaly, retinal detachment, infection with Toxocara canis, sarcoidosis, and angiomatosis retinae. Three patients are still living. If the diagnosis is not certain a blind eye should be removed without delay.
