title: [Asymptomatic vasoproliferative retinal tumor].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  A case of vasoproliferative retinal tumor is described. The main differential diagnoses must be excluded and the therapeutic possibilities defined.
  
  
  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.
