ABSTRACT
Purpose:
To present a case with signs suggestive of a retinal vasoproliferative tumor.Methods:
A case report was evaluated and a surgical video presented.Results:
A 61-year-old White man presented with an amelanotic retinal tumor associated with exudation, retinal edema, and overlying telangiectatic vessels, suggestive of a retinal vasoproliferative tumor. Standardized echography showed an irregular mass with medium-to-high internal reflectivity and internal calcification, which suggested chronicity. He was initially treated for an exudative retinal detachment (RD) in the context of a presumed vasoproliferative tumor but later developed combined exudative and rhegmatogenous RD, prompting surgical repair with tumor endoresection. Pathology showed nonpigmented adenoma of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE).Conclusions:
Nonpigmented adenoma of the RPE is a rare tumor, and its clinical similarity to a vasoproliferative tumor should be noted. Endoresection may be considered in cases resulting in RD.
