A solitary retinal hemangioblastoma

Abstract

Retinal hemangioblastoma is a rare benign retinal vascular tumor that occurs sporadically or in association with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. If associated with VHL, it can be multiple and/or bilateral. All retinal hemangioblastoma cases should be investigated for the presence of associated tumors such as central nervous system hemangiomas and visceral abdominal tumors. Herewith, we report a case of solitary capillary hemangioma in a young male.
