A case is presented with recurrence of retinoblastoma in a 14‐year‐old girl 12 years after irradiation treatment. The first eye had been enucleated for the same diagnosis at the age of 12 months. In the differential diagnosis between an inflammatory and a neoplastic condition in the eye, cytologic examination of material aspirated from the anterior chamber appeared useful.
