title: Congenital retinoblastoma: appearance of calcifications during short-term follow-up.
abstract: An echographic follow-up of a case of congenital retinoblastoma was performed by monitoring variations in the tumoral echostructure concomitant with the appearance of microcalcifications. A previously unreported echo-graphic aspect regarding the first phase of observation is described. The calcifications in the tumour were evidenced on the 41st day of the patient's life.
