摘要

We report a unique case of malignant transformation in a retinocytoma monitored using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This case is notable for a distinct drop in apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values that correlated with clinical transformation to retinoblastoma. This is the first report to highlight a change in ADC as a radiological marker of malignant conversion in retinocytoma. This finding suggests the potential role of ADC in prognostic assessment and risk stratification for patients with retinocytoma.
