Abstract

Retinoblastoma, though uncommon, frequently is associated with other second malignant neoplasms, especially bone sarcomas. These second neoplasms can occur in sporadic cases of retinoblastoma, though they more commonly are associated with genetic forms of the disease. This is the first known report of 2 histologically distinct bone sarcomas in a patient with retinoblastoma.
