Retinal pigment epithelial hamartoma--unusual manifestations.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hamartoma of the retinal pigment epithelium is an uncommon tumour of young adults. We have seen 2 patients with this clinical diagnosis, both with unusual manifestations. In one patient growth of the tumour was observed over a 5-year period. In the second patient arterial-arterial anastomoses were detected at a site distal to the tumour.

Several darkly pigmented tumors affecting the macular area have been described, including retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) hamartomas, combined retina-RPE hamartomas, melanocytic nevi of the RPE (congenital hypertrophy of the RPE), choroidal nevus, and melanomas invading the retina. Melanocytomas can rarely also be located in the macular area without involving the overlying retina. Retinal pigm...

We present a case of a 9 years old boy, followed up for 4 years, with bilateral combined pigmented epithelial and retinal hamartoma, complicated with recurrent vitreous hemorrhages in one eye and neovascular glaucoma and cataract in the other eye, treated with repeated intravitreal injections of Bevacizumab. A review of the literature suggested that such lesions may be symptomatic because of de...

The exact incidence of retinal astrocytic hamartoma (RAH) is not well known, but it is estimated at one case per 100000 births per year [1]. The astrocytic hamartoma is a neuroglial tissue and produces astrocytes within the optic nerve [2], and consequently it often appears within papillary region. Congenital...

متن کاملExtremely low frequency-pulsed electromagnetic fields affect proangiogenic-related gene expression in retinal pigment epithelial cells
Objective(s): It is known that extremely low frequency-pulsed electromagnetic fields (ELF-PEMF) influence multiple cellular and molecular processes. Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells have a significant part in the emergence and pathophysiology of several ocular disorders, such as neovascularization. This study assessed the impact of ELF-PEMF on the proangiogenic features of RPE cells. Mate...
