  • Title: [Combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium diagnosed by retinal angiography and optical coherence tomography].
    Author: Pérez-Alvarez MJ, Alejandre-Alba N, García-Sánchez J.
    Journal: Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol; 2008 Mar; 83(3):193-6. PubMed ID: 18311679.
    Abstract:
    CLINICAL CASE: This report is based on the case of a 35-year-old woman who developed a combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium in her right eye. The diagnosis was determined based on the fundus examination: hyperplasia of the retinal pigment epithelium cells, tortuosity of the vessels and epiretinal membrane. DISCUSSION: Optical coherence tomography and retinal angiography are important to rule out malignant melanoma of the choroid and retinoblastoma. Regular follow-up is essential because reduction in visual acuity can be related to an epiretinal membrane, neovascular membrane or vitreous hemorrhage.
