AB Retinoblastoma  is  the  most  common  primary  intraocular  malignancy  of  childhood.  The  incidence  is  approximately  1  in  18,000  live  births,  and  it  is  estimated  that  300  children  develop  retinoblastoma  in  the  United  States  annually.  There  is  no  race  or  gender  predilection.  Approximately  80%  of  children  are  diagnosed  before  the  age  of  3  years.  In  contrast  to  less  than  10%  of  older  children,  more  than  half  of  patients  diagnosed  in  the  first  year  of  life  present  with  bilateral  disease.
