Establishment of the relationship between tumor size and range of histological involvement to evaluate the rationality of current retinoblastoma management.
<h4>Purpose</h4>To determine whether tumor size correlates with histopathological involvement and hence evaluate the rationality of conservative treatment for retinoblastoma.<h4>Methods</h4>We retrospectively studied 221 patients (221 eyes) treated for retinoblastoma with enu...

Postlaminar optic nerve invasion was observed in 19.6% of tumors ≤ 10 mm in thickness. Tumors >10 mm in thickness had sclera involvement more frequently than tumors ≤ 10 mm in thickness (P = 0.029).
