Treating metastatic extraocular retinoblastoma complicated with Langerhans cell histiocytosis
Our case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and prompt treatment in managing complex cases with coexisting retinoblastoma and LCH. Treatment with BRAF inhibitors could be a promising therapeutic option for patients with BRAF-positive LCH. Further studies are needed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BRAF inhibitors in the treatment of LCH. The long-term outcome and potential late effects of combined therapy for coexisting retinoblastoma and LCH should also be monitored closely.
