Abstract
To report a case of tamoxifen retinopathy in a male patient. Case report. A 68-year-old man, who had received a cumulative tamoxifen dose of 60 g over 33 months for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma, was evaluated. A peculiar, bilateral, symmetric, inner retinal crystalline deposition associated with mild macular edema was discovered. No other ocular toxicity of tamoxifen was observed. To our knowledge, this is the first report of tamoxifen retinopathy in a male.
