Eye
Personal Characteristics
43-year-old woman. Diagnosed as left degenerative myopia and amblyopia.
Clinical Characteristics
Admitted with the complaint of blurred near vision for two months in her right eye. In the right fundus, there was a juxtapapillary oval, elevated yellow mass measuring three disc diameters in size and approximately 1 mm in thickness. The tumor had fine vessels on the surface, and was associated with a peripapillary subretinal mass and hemorrhage. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography revealed a hyperreflective mass protruding into vitreous and a subretinal mass with a single moth-eaten-like optically empty space inside causing posterior shadowing, and an accompanying subretinal fluid. Retina astrocytic hamartoma (rah) was the most likely diagnosis.
Remission Characteristics
Within two years, the tumor gradually regressed, finally leaving a peripapillary atrophic scar
