A 56-year-old man presented with a disc-based intraocular mass at the posterior pole with massive subretinal exudation. Fluorescein angiography, ultrasonography, and CAT scans did not aid final diagnosis. Four months later, the patient presented again, with massive tumor progression, total retinal detachment due to proliferative vitreoretinopathy, and rubeosis iridis. Pathologic evaluation of the enucleated globe revealed a giant cell astrocytoma of the retina.
