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.en10.4274/tjo.42.86570info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHamartomaRetinal pigment epitheliumSpectral-domain optic coherence tomographyUltrasonographyArticle422157158N/A
