ANDONEGUI-NAVARRO, J; ARANGUREN-LAFLIN, M; ALISEDA-PEREZ-DE-MADRID, D  and  REBOLLO-AGUAYO, A. Asimptomatic vasoproliferative retinal tumor. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2005, vol.80, n.11, pp.675-677. ISSN 0365-6691.

Purpose/method: A case of vasoproliferative retinal tumor is described. The main differential diagnoses must be excluded and the therapeutic possibilities defined. Results/conclusions: Vasoproliferative retinal tumors are infrequent benign retinal lesions of gliovascular composition. The differential diagnoses needing consideration are a retinal hemangioma associated with von Hippel-Lindau disease, an amelanotic choroidal melanoma and an ocular metastasis from a tumor elsewhere. Treatment must be performed in those cases where the sight is threatened.

Keywords : Vasoproliferative tumors; retina.
