Vasoproliferative tumor of the retina in association with spontaneously reattached rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of spontaneously reattached rhegmatogenous retinal detachment seen in association with a vascularized tumor fitting the clinical features of a vasoproliferative tumor.


METHODS
Case report.


RESULTS
A 38-year-old man presented with retinal findings compatible with those seen in patients with spontaneously reattached rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (presence of pigment in the vitreous, multiple high-water marks, chorioretinal and retinal pigment epithelial changes, and subretinal fibrosis) and a vascularized tumor fitting the clinical features of a vasoproliferative tumor.


CONCLUSIONS
A vasoproliferative tumor of the retina can arise after spontaneous resolution of a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
