Retinoblastoma is a rare pediatric malignancy (1/20,000) while Hirschsprung disease is a relatively common pediatric disorder (1/ 5,000). We describe a boy with bilateral retinoblastoma, Hirschsprung disease, multiple minor anomalies, and an interstitial deletion 13q (q13 → q22). This child and a si
