[Pseudotumoral ARMD (Age Related Macular Degeneration)--case report].
The authors present the case of a 76-year-old man with excised colon carcinoma, who has remained with zones of high grade metaplasia even after the surgery and who came in our Clinic for declined vision in both eyes, progressive and more obvious in the left eye and the presence of an absolute scotoma in the upper hemi-field of the left eye. On fundoscopic exam, one can see a zone with pseudotumoral aspect and the diagnostic problem the team was confronted with was to choose between a choroidal metastasis and a pseudotumoral ARMD. After multiple investigations the patient is diagnosed with pseudotumoral ARMD.
