Retinocytoma associated with calcified vitreous deposits.
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of bilateral retinocytoma associated with calcified vitreous deposits.


METHODS
Case report.


RESULTS
On routine examination, a 35-year-old asymptomatic father of a child with bilateral retinoblastoma presented bilateral retinocytoma associated with vitreous calcifications, in the vicinity of the retinocytoma in his left eye. Fundus photographic documentation and fluorescein angiography were performed. The patient has been followed up for 10 years.


CONCLUSIONS
The lesions in both eyes have remained stable without signs of growth or malignant transformation. Calcified vitreous deposits are a recently described feature of retinocytoma in addition to the three classic features: translucent retinal mass, retinal pigment epithelial alteration, and calcification.
