Overview
On Ultrasound, retinoblastoma is characterized by echogenic soft-tissue masses with variable shadowing due to calcifications and heterogeneity due to necrosis and/or hemorrhage.[1]
Ultrasound
Retinoblastomas appear as echogenic soft-tissue masses with variable shadowing due to calcifications and heterogeneity due to necrosis and/or haemorrhage. At diagnosis tumours are usually vascular on doppler examination. The vitreous may have multiple areas of 'floating' debris, which may represent vitreous seeding or alternatively necrotic debris, haemorrhage or increased globulin content.[1]
