Abstract
We report a case of an unusual giant congential tumor presenting in a newborn infant as a large exophytic mass emerging from the left orbit. After enucleation orbital recurrence developed within 14 days. No ant i-tumor treatment was given and the child died at the age of 4 weeks. The histopathological and cytogenetical analysis of the tumor is prese nted. The tumor was diagnosed as a retinoblastoma but we could not exc lude the possibility of a neuroblastoma.
