Pseudomelanocytoma at the Optic Nervehead

Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) adenoma mimicking retinoblastoma in a child

“…However, up to 35%–40% tumours can be amelanotic, as noted in our case. RPE adenoma frequently mimics a choroidal melanoma or a melanocytoma when present in the juxtapupillary location 5 6. However, unlike a melanoma which exhibits serous RD, it is associated with exudative retinopathy which was seen in our case as well.…”

“…RPE adenoma was first described in 1965 as pseudomelanocytoma of the optic nerve head in a 76-year-old Caucasian who presented with an elevated pigmented lesion over the inferotemporal optic nerve head, involving the adjacent retina 5. It is a benign neoplasm arising from the retinal pigment epithelium, usually in the absence of trauma or background inflammation, with reported mean age at diagnosis varying from 40 to 50 years.…”

“…RPE adenoma is an extremely rare neoplasm with less than 20 well-documented case studies with histopathological evidence reported in literature, as summarised in table 1 2 4–7 10–20…”
