Scope note:	Tumor maligno que surge de la capa nuclear de la retina. Es el tumor ocular primario más común en los niños. El tumor tiende a aparecer en la primera infancia o en lactantes y puede estar presente en el momento del nacimiento. La mayoría son esporádicos, pero la afección puede transmitirse como rasgo autosómico dominante. Histológicamente se caracteriza por celularidad densa, células redondas poligonales pequeñas y zonas de calcificación y necrosis. Las caracterísiticas clínicas más comunes son reflejo pupilar anormal (leucocoria), NISTAGMO, ESTRABISMO y afectación visual.

Scope note:

A malignant tumor arising from the nuclear layer of the retina that is the most common primary tumor of the eye in children. The tumor tends to occur in early childhood or infancy and may be present at birth. The majority are sporadic, but the condition may be transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. Histologic features include dense cellularity, small round polygonal cells, and areas of calcification and necrosis. An abnormal pupil reflex (leukokoria); NYSTAGMUS, PATHOLOGIC; STRABISMUS; and visual loss represent common clinical characteristics of this condition. (From DeVita et al., Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology, 5th ed, p2104)
