Summary
Sum maryTo 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)
