Color fundus photograph of an 48-year-old male who complained of decreased visual acuity in his right eye over the last few months. Systemically the patient was healthy. His VA was OD Cf 3m, OS 20/20. Anterior segments were WNL in OU. IOP was WNL in OU. Fundus exam OD revealed unpigmented mass over the optic disc with retinal venous tortuosity at its edges with a ring of thick HYE surrounding it and shallow RD in this area extending to the foveal area. Several few small retinal hemorrhages were seen in the far retinal periphery which were explained to be caused by venous stasis due the optic disc tumor.
