Aggressive-fungating retinal hemangioblastoma

J Cancer Res Ther. 2021 Jan-Mar;17(1):279-281. doi: 10.4103/jcrt.JCRT_718_18.

Abstract

Retinal hemangioblastomas are one of the most common and early manifestations of Von Hippel-Lindau disease. Early detection is the key in their management. When left untreated, these benign neoplasms may continue to grow and result in scleral infiltration and extraocular extension warranting enucleation of the globe.

Keywords: Enucleation; fungating; hemangioblastoma; retina.
