| description | To report the spectral-domain optical coherence tomographic findings in a case of a simple hamartoma of the retinal pigment epithelium.
A 55-year-old female patient with simple hamartoma of the retinal pigment epithelium was evaluated with ultrasonography and spectraldomain
optic coherence tomography. The patient was found to have a pitch-black lesion measuring one-half of the disk diameter, located
at about 1 disk diameter temporal to the foveola. B-mode ultrasonogram revealed a 0.8-mm thick retinal lesion with high internal
reflectivity which was consistent with simple hamartoma of the retinal pigment epithelium. Spectral-domain optical coherence
tomography demonstrated an elevated lesion extending from the retinal layer toward the vitreous. The high resolution of spectral-domain
optical coherence tomography allows detailed observation of the retinal pigment epithelium hamartomas and is useful in the differential
diagnosis and management of pigmented fundus lesions. (Turk J Oph thal mol 2012; 42: 157-8) |
