OCULAR FINDINGS OF TUBEROUS SCLEROSIS – A CASE REPORT

The term “Neurocutaneous syndromes” also known as Phakomatoses refers to a broadcategory of congenital diseases that includes anomalies of neuroectodermal and occasionallymesodermal development, hence commonly involving the skin, eyes and central nervoussystem. The term Phacomatoses was coined by Van Der Hoeve in 1921. Tuberous sclerosisis one type of Neurocutaneous syndromes. The word "tuberous sclerosis" comes from thedistinctive cortical tubers that Désiré-Magloire first described. Tuberous sclerosis is ahereditary disorder that affects numerous body systems. A 30 year old female diagnosed asTuberous sclerosis was referred by Dermatology Department. Detailed ophthalmicexamination was done. Patient was diagnosed with Adenoma sebaceum of upper eyelids inboth eyes and multiple retinal hamartoma in left eye.

Hamartoma lipomatoso pancreático: Reporte de caso y revisión de la literatura

Los hamartomas pancreáticos (HP) son lesiones no neoplásicas extremadamente inusuales y representan < 1% de todos los hamartomas. Además, existe una variante distintiva denominada Hamartoma Lipomatoso Pancreático (HLP), que es aún más raro, con solo 5 casos, incluyendo el presente reporte, descritos en la literatura. HLP carecen de características específicas y clínicamente puede ser confundido con otras lesiones lipomatosas pancreáticas, como lipoma, lipomatosis pancreática, PEComa, liposarcoma y tumores malignos con componentes lipomatosos. El presente reporte describe un caso de HLP en un paciente varón de 70 años, que aquejaba de dolor y masa abdominal, preoperatoriamente diagnosticado como tumor neuroendocrino de bajo grado no funcionante pancreático. Subsecuentemente, fue sometido a enucleación laparoscópica del tumor. El reporte patológico postoperatorio y los estudios de inmunohistoquímica confirmaron el diagnóstico de HLP.

Pancreatic hamartomas (PH) are extremely unusual non-neoplastic tumor-like lesions and accounts for <1% of all hamartomas. Moreover, there is a distinct variant of PH denominated Pancreatic lipomatous hamartoma (PLH), that is even rarer, with only 5 cases, including the present case, reported in the literature. PLH lacks well-defined features and clinically can be mistaken with other lipomatous lesions of the pancreas, including lipoma, pancreatic lipomatosis, PEComa, liposarcoma, and malignant tumors with lipomatous components. Here, we describe a case of PLH in a 70-year-old male with abdominal pain and a lesion, which was preoperatively diagnosed as a pancreatic no functional low-grade neuroendocrine tumor, and subsequent underwent a laparoscopic enucleation of the tumor. The postoperative pathology and immunohistochemical analyses confirmed the diagnosis of PLH.

Common manifestations include cortical tubercles, subependymal nodules, subependymal giant cell astrocytomas, seizures, cardiac rhabdomyomas, renal AML, retinal hamartomas, pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis, facial angiofibromas, ash leaf spots, shagreen patches, intellectual disability, and autism spectrum disorder. This paper presents the resolution of a serious problem case of a patient who attends the consultation of a public hospital, with severe inability to maintain the patency of the external nasal valve, at the expense of severe harmartomatous formation, of many years of evolution, fetid and bleeding, deciding to undertake urgent and aggressive surgical conduct given the conditions of the lesion, the lack of collaboration of the patient and the family context of the same, which also presents behavioral disorders associated with neurological manifestations of the disease (maturational delay).

Hamartoma adquirido de músculo liso: reporte de caso / Acquired smooth muscle hamartoma: case report / Hamartoma adquirido de músculo liso: reporte de caso

RESUMEN El hamartoma de músculo liso es una malformación cutánea poco común y benigna, congénita o adquirida. En la bibliografía se describen otras enfermedades superpuestas, como la melanosis de Becker, especialmente en el caso de lesiones con hipertricosis e hiperpigmentación. Describimos a un paciente masculino de 21 años con hamartoma de músculo liso adquirido, que es una manifestación rara y con pocos reportes descritos. Destacamos la necesidad de valorar una posible asociación con la melanosis de Becker, enfatizando que los aspectos clínicos, aun con la histopatología, no siempre permiten la individualización.

ABSTRACT Smooth muscle hamartoma is a rare and benign cutaneous malformation, congenital or acquired. Overlapping other diseases is described in the literature, such as Becker's Melanosis, especially in the case of lesions with hypertrichosis and hyperpigmentation. We describe here a 21-year-old male patient with acquired smooth muscle hamartoma, which is a rare manifestation and with few reports described. We emphasize the need to assess a possible association with Becker's melanosis, emphasizing that clinical aspects, even when reconciled with histopathology, do not always allow for individualization.

RESUMO O hamartoma de músculo liso é uma malformação cutânea benigna e rara, de natureza congênita ou adquirida. A sobreposição à outras doenças é descrita na literatura, como a melanose de Becker, especialmente em caso de lesões com hipertricose e hiperpigmentação. Descrevemos aqui, quadro de paciente masculino de 21 anos, com hamartoma de músculo liso adquirido, que é uma manifestação rara e com poucos relatos descritos. Ressaltamos a necessidade de avaliar possível associação com a melanose de Becker, enfatizando que nem sempre os aspectos clínicos, mesmo quando conciliados com a histopatologia, permitem a individualização.

Clinical characteristics of nasal respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

〓 Objectives: To analyze the pathological and clinical features of nasal respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma（REAH）, and summarize the diagnostic points, to improve the experience of diagnosis and treatment. Methods:The clinical data of 16 patients with REAH were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical manifestations, pathological features, imaging features, surgical treatment and prognosis were summarized. Results:16 cases of REAH were studied, 10 cases（62.50%） were associated with sinusitis, 1 case（6.25%） was associated with inverted papilloma, 1 case（6.25%） was associated with hemangioma. 5 cases（31.25%） had a history of nasal sinus surgery, including 1 case with 3 times of nasal sinus surgery, 1 case with 2 times of nasal sinus surgery, 3 cases with 1 time of nasal sinus surgery; 10 cases（62.50%） occurred in the bilateral olfactory cleft, 2 cases（12.50%） in the unilateral olfactory cleft, 3 cases（18.75%） in the unilateral middle turbinate, 1 case（6.25%） in the nasopharynx. All 16 patients were pathologically diagnosed as REAH. In the patients with lesions located in bilateral olfactory fissures, symmetrical widening of olfactory fissures and lateral displacement of middle turbinate were observed on preoperative sinus CT. The average width of bilateral olfactory fissures was （9.9±2.70） mm. The ratio of wide to narrow olfactory cleft was 1.21 ± 0.19. There was no significant difference in Lund-Mackay score between the two sides（P>0.05）. All patients underwent surgery under general anesthesia and nasal endoscopy. The follow-up period ranged from 1 to 66 months, and no recurrence occurred. Conclusion:Preoperative diagnosis of REAH is facilitated by the combination of clinical manifestations and endoscopic and imaging features. Endoscopic complete resection can achieve a good therapeutic effect.

Giant lipofibromatous hamartoma of median nerve in a child

Lipofibromatous hamartoma (LFH) is a rare fibrofatty tumor of adipocytes within peripheral nerves, affecting mainly children. It typically presents as a palpable mass surrounding the nerves of the upper limbs, causing pain and neurological deficits in the affected nerve distribution. We report the case of a child with a 2-years presentation of a mass in the right wrist associated with pain and paresthesia, who underwent investigation with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It showed thickening of the median nerve with spaghetti-like appearance associated with lipomatous tissue in a coaxial cable-like pattern, both features characteristic of LFH. This case illustrates the importance of MRI in the differential diagnosis of limb masses in the pediatric population.

Nevus apocrino puro: una entidad raramente sospechada / Pure apocrine nevus: a rarely suspected entity

Los nevus apocrinos puros son hamartomas de las unidades pilosebáceas caracterizadas por proliferaciones benignas de glándulas apocrinas maduras, la cual es una descripción microscópica realizada en los reportes de patología sin que se nombre el diagnóstico exacto. Considerando además, los diagnósticos diferenciales clínicos y la baja frecuencia de este diagnóstico, presentamos un caso clínico y una revisión del tema

Pure apocrine nevi are hamartomas of the pilosebaceous units characterized by benign proliferations of mature apocrine glands, which is a microscopic description made in pathology reports without the exact diagnosis being named. Considering the clinical differential diagnoses and its low frequency, we present a case report and a review of the literature on this topic

Metástasis tumor a tumor en pulmón: reporte de tres casos y revisión de la literatura / Tumor-to-tumor metastasis in the lung: report of three cases and review of the literature

Las metástasis tumor a tumor (MTT) corresponden a un evento poco frecuente en el cual se presenta metástasis de un tumor primario a otro tumor primario, bien sea benigno o maligno. El carcinoma de pulmón es un receptor poco habitual, pero uno de los donantes más frecuentes. En el presente articulo presentamos tres casos de MTT como órgano receptor el pulmón: el primero, de una mujer con antecedente de carcinoma papilar de tiroides y carcinoma ductal in situ de la mama, con presencia de MTT y carcinoma papilar de tiroides a un adenocarcinoma primario pulmonar. El segundo caso, es una mujer con MTT de carcinoma ductal de mama a un adenocarcinoma primario pulmonar. Y el tercero, de un MTT de un carcinoma ductal de mama a un hamartoma pulmonar. En los tres casos, fue fundamental la correlación clínico-patológica y los estudios complementarios de inmunohistoquímica.

Tumor-to-tumor metastases (TTM) correspond to a rare event in which a primary tumor metastasizes to another primary tumor, whether benign or malignant. Lung carcinoma is an unusual recipient, but one of the most frequent donors. In this article, we present three cases of TTM to the lung: the first one is of a woman with a history of papillary thyroid carcinoma and ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast, with the presence of TTM and papillary thyroid carcinoma to a primary adenocarcinoma of the lung. The second case is of a woman with TTM from ductal carcinoma of the breast to a primary pulmonary adenocarcinoma, and the third is TTM from a breast ductal carcinoma to a pulmonary hamartoma. In all three cases, the clinical-pathological connection and complementary immunohistochemical studies were essential

Case reports of two children with neurofibromatosis type 1 / 中国热带医学

@#Abstract: Objective　To report the clinical characteristics and genetic test results of two children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), and to provide reference for the comprehensive diagnosis-treatment and follow-up plans of NF1 patients based on the existing diagnosis and treatment progress of NF1. Methods　Two children with NF1 admitted to the Department of Children's Medicine, Haikou people's Hospital in May and June 2022 were selected to analyze the clinical data of their clinical manifestations, laboratory examination, genetic test results, diagnosis and treatment and follow-up retrospectively. Results　Two children had typical clinical manifestations, such as café-au-lait spots, axillary freckles, intraocular iris hamartoma. Venous blood was collected from case 1 and his parents for NF gene test, and a new mutation of c.4084C>T in the NF1 gene was found, and their parents did not have the pathogenic gene; the venous blood of the children in case 2 was tested for whole-exome gene analysis, and a heterozygous nonsense variant c.910C>T:p.R304 on the NF1 gene was found, , which was verified by Sanger sequencing to be inherited from his mother, his mother has café-au-lait spots and brain glioma, and has undergone surgery to remove the brain glioma, but has not undergone chemoradiotherapy or targeted therapy. No neurological malignancies were detected in either of the two children at follow-up until July 2022. Conclusions　The clinical manifestations of NF1 are relatively typical, genetic testing is conducive to determine its classification, and regular follow-up review can help to detect and treat malignant tumors early, thus improving the patient's quality of life.

Clinical classification and histopathological features of connective tissue nevi / 中华皮肤科杂志

Connective tissue nevi (CTN) , a kind of benign skin hamartomas, can be classified into 3 types according to the excessive components predominating in skin lesions, including collagen type, elastin type and proteoglycan type, and each type of CTN includes various inherited and acquired diseases. Therefore, genetic, clinical, and histopathological features should be considered for the confirmation of diagnosis of CTN and its subtypes. According to the latest Chinese and international literature, this review elaborates clinical classification and histopathological characteristics of CTN, aiming to further strengthen the understanding of this disease.

Fibrolipomatous hamartoma of the median nerve: a case report and literature review / Hamartoma fibrolipomatoso del nervio mediano: reporte de un caso y revisión de la literatura

Abstract Fibrolipomatous hamartoma (FLH) of the nerve, also known as lipomatosis of the nerve, neurofibrillary lipomatous lesion, or intraneural lipoma, is a rare benign soft tissue tumor which mainly occurs in the nerves of the upper limb, especially in the median nerve. In April 2021, a 30-year-old male patient was secondly admitted to our hospital and underwent his third surgery, due to the recurrence of a mass and pain in the right palm, noticeable swelling and numbness of the right index and ring fingers, and limited flexion and extension activities of the right ring finger. He first visited our hospital in December 2017 due to a mass and pain in the right palm and swelling and numbness of the right index and ring fingers. When the clinician asked for the patient medical history, his parents stated that his right middle finger was swollen after birth. When the patient was ten years old; he was diagnosed with "macrodactyly" at the local county hospital, not in our hospital, and subsequently, the middle finger was amputated at the metacarpophalangeal joint level at the local county hospital. The postoperative pathological examination was not performed at that time, which was the first surgery the patient received. FLH is clinically rare, and its exact epidemiology and etiology are poorly understood. FLH is highly suspected in cases where a painless mass is present in the wrist, combined with macrodactyly. Magnetic resonance imaging and pathological examination are helpful in clarifying the diagnosis. Although FLH is a benign tumor, an individual treatment plan is the best choice according to the severity of the patient's symptoms. Therefore, further exploration and understanding of this disease by clinicians radiologists, and pathologists is necessary.

Resumen El hamartoma fibrolipomatoso (FLH) del nervio, también conocido como lipomatosis del nervio, lesión neurofibrilar lipomatosa, o lipointraneural, es un tumor benigno de tejido blando poco frecuente, que se presenta principalmente en los nervios del miembro superior, especialmente en el nervio mediano. En abril de 2021, un paciente masculino de 30 años fue ingresado por segunda vez en nuestro hospital y sometido a su tercera cirugía debido a la recurrencia de una masa y dolor en la palma derecha, evidente hinchazón y entumecimiento de los dedos índice y anular derecho y limitadas actividades de flexión y extensión del dedo anular derecho. En diciembre de 2017, visitó por primera vez nuestro hospital debido a una masa y dolor en la palma derecha, y a la hinchazón y entumecimiento de los dedos índice y anular derecho. Cuando el clínico preguntó la historia clínica del paciente, sus padres declararon que su dedo medio derecho estaba hinchado después del nacimiento, y cuando el paciente tenía 10 años, fue diagnosticado con "macrodactilia" en el hospital local del condado, no en nuestro hospital Posteriormente, el dedo medio fue amputado a nivel de la articulación metacarpofalángica en el hospital comarcal local, pero no se realizó la patología postoperatoria en ese momento, siendo ésta la primera cirugía a la cual se sometió el paciente. La FLH es clínicamente rara, y su epidemiología y etiología exactas no se entienden bien. En los casos que presentan una masa indolora en la muñeca, combinada con macrodactilia, se sospecha de FLH. La resonancia magnética y la patología son útiles para aclarar el diagnóstico. Aunque la FLH es un tumor benigno, el plan de tratamiento individual es la mejor opción de acuerdo con la gravedad de los síntomas del paciente. Por lo tanto, es necesaria una mayor exploración y comprensión de esta enfermedad por parte de médicos, radiólogos y patólogos.

Prevalence of respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartomas (REAH) associated with nasal polyposis: an epidemiological study - how to diagnose

Abstract Objectives: To highlight the prevalence of respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartomas in the olfactory cleft of patients with nasal polyposis. To demonstrate characteristics indicative of hamartoma on the CT scans of paranasal sinuses during surgery and in histopathological exams. Methods: Cross-sectional study carried out in Hospital das Clínicas da UFMG and Núcleo de Otorrino BH. We performed 114 nasal endoscopic surgeries for polyposis, between February 2015 and November 2019. We assessed the olfactory cleft width in all preoperative CT scans. Upon seeing an indication of hamartoma on the CT scan, we took a tissue sample from the olfactory cleft during the surgery and sent for histopathological exam. We referred the samples to a pathologist experienced in the anatomopathological diagnosis of respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartomas. Results: Of the 114 patients with polyposis, 54 (47.4%) had olfactory cleft enlargement and, 100% of them had tissue with a dense and hardened polypoid aspect, with a slight cerebri-form appearance in this region during the surgery. Histology confirmed a respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma. Conclusion: This observation suggests that the presence of hamartomas in polyposis is common, but underdiagnosed. Level of evidence: Step 3 (Level 3).

Sebaceous nevus of Jadassohn: review and clinical-surgical approach

Abstract Background: Nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn is defined as a rare congenital malformation characterized as a non-hereditary hamartoma of the adnexal structures of the skin. Its etiology is not yet well understood, but it is believed to be related to post-zygotic mutations in the HRAS, NRAS and KRAS genes. Objective: To describe the clinical manifestation of nevus sebaceous, as well as the main management techniques addressed in the medical literature. Moreover, the present study discusses a case report of a congenital linear nevus in the left retroauricular region found in a male patient, without extracutaneous manifestations. Method: A narrative review of the literature was carried out. Discussion: Nevus sebaceous occurs as lesions with a linear or oval appearance, with a smooth or verrucous texture, generally alopecic and with very variable color. Moreover, nevus sebaceous is one of the components of the so-called linear nevus syndrome or Schimmelpenning-Feuerstein-Mims syndrome, which is associated with multisystemic complications. The treatment of the lesions is still controversial; however, most experts indicate surgical excision as the most frequently adopted treatment method, in addition to multidisciplinary follow-up when the diagnosis of Schimmelpenning-Feuerstein-Mims syndrome is established. Conclusion: The linear nevus syndrome constitutes a rare manifestation; however, its diagnosis should be considered in children born with nevus sebaceous. There is no consensus yet on the best therapy, but surgical removal has shown to be a viable option.

Acquired smooth muscle hamartoma with sebaceous component / Hamartoma de músculo liso adquirido con componente sebáceo

Abstract Background: Acquired smooth muscle hamartoma (ASMH) is a rare benign lesion characterized clinically by hyperpigmented plaques with hypertrichosis and some follicular papules. The main histologic finding is the presence of disorganized smooth muscle bundles in the dermis. Only 25 cases of ASMH have been reported in the literature. Clinical case: We present the case of an 18-year-old male who reported a pigmented area and increased hair growth on the left hemifacial with one year of evolution. Clinically, a plaque was observed in the preauricular region and on the left cheek with a linear Blaschkoid path, consisting of hyperpigmentation, hypertrichosis, and some papular lesions, with negative pseudo-Darier sign. Histological analysis showed an increase in the number of smooth muscle bundles in the middle and deep dermis surrounding abundant sebaceous glands and numerous hair follicles in different stages of evolution. Conclusions: The sebaceous component in this lesion was prominent. Therefore, we considered this lesion part of a spectrum where the acquired smooth muscle hamartoma and folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma are found at the extremes. This case would fall in the middle of the range, as it combines both histological features.

Resumen Introducción: El hamartoma de músculo liso adquirido (HMLA) es una lesión benigna adquirida, poco frecuente, caracterizada clínicamente por presentar placas hiperpigmentadas, con hipertricosis y algunas pápulas foliculares. El principal hallazgo histológico es la presencia de abundantes haces de músculo liso desorganizados en la dermis. Se han reportado solo 25 casos de HMLA en la literatura. Caso clínico: Se presenta el caso de un paciente de sexo masculino de 18 años que refirió una zona pigmentada y el aumento de vello en la hemicara izquierda con un año de evolución. Clínicamente se observó una placa en la región preauricular y mejilla izquierda con trayecto lineal blaschkoide, constituida por hiperpigmentación, hipertricosis y algunas lesiones papulares, con signo pseudo-Darier negativo. Histológicamente se encontró un aumento en el número de haces de músculo liso en la dermis media y profunda rodeando abundantes glándulas sebáceas, así como numerosos folículos pilosos en diferentes estadios de evolución. Conclusiones: El componente sebáceo en esta lesión fue muy marcado, por lo que se considera que forma parte de un espectro donde en los extremos se encuentran el hamartoma de músculo liso adquirido y el hamartoma quístico folículo sebáceo. El presente caso se encontraría en medio, ya que combina ambas características histológicas.

Diagnóstico prenatal de hamartoma mesenquimatoso hepático fetal

Los tumores hepáticos primarios fetales son raros. El hamartoma mesenquimatoso hepático es un tumor benigno poco frecuente. Ocupa el segundo lugar en frecuencia de los tumores primarios hepáticos, después del hepatoblastoma. Es el resultado del crecimiento compuesto por una mezcla anormal de células del tejido hepático de etiología incierta. Generalmente aparece como un tumor abdominal quístico con crecimiento rápido que ocupa espacio y que potencialmente puede comprimir los órganos adyacentes, lo que resulta en varias complicaciones, que incluyen la muerte. El diagnóstico prenatal es un desafío. Desde el punto de vista histopatológico presenta proliferación variable del mesénquima mixomatosa y conductos biliares malformados. Aunque histológicamente es benigno, esta lesión con frecuencia resulta en complicaciones perinatales. Puede ser potencialmente mortal en el periodo prenatal o neonatal y la importancia de la detección prenatal en el pronóstico aún es desconocida. Se presenta un caso de diagnóstico prenatal de hamartoma mesenquimatoso hepático fetal.

Fetal primary liver tumors are rare. Hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma is a rare benign tumor. It is the second most common primary liver tumors after hepatoblastoma and is composed of an abnormal mixture of liver tissue cells of uncertain etiology. It usually appears as a rapidly growing cystic abdominal tumor that occupies space and can potentially compress adjacent organs, resulting in various complications, including death. Prenatal diagnosis is challenging. Histopathologically, it presents with variable myxomatous mesenchymal proliferation and malformed bile ducts. Although histologically benign, this lesion often results in perinatal complications. It can be life-threatening in the prenatal or neonatal period and the prognostic significance of prenatal detection is still unknown. A case of prenatal diagnosis of fetal hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma is presented.

Hamartoma quístico retrorrectal (tailgut cyst): reporte de un caso y revisión de la literatura / Retrorectal Cystic Hamartoma (Tailgut cyst): Case Report and Literature Review

Resumen Los hamartomas quísticos retrorrectales (tailgut cyst) son tumores congénitos multiloculados, poco frecuentes y derivados de remanentes embrionarios posanales que a menudo no se diagnostican debido a su rara incidencia, localización anatómica y su presentación clínica inespecífica. Presentamos el caso de un paciente de 21 años con historia de fístula perianal que fue intervenida, pero presentó recidiva y en la resonancia se encontró el hamartoma quístico. El tratamiento definitivo fue la resección completa de la lesión por vía posterior (Kraske-Mason).

Abstract Retrorectal Cystic Hamartoma (tailgut cyst [TGC]) are uncommon, multiloculated congenital tumors derived from embryonic post-anal or tail gut remnants often undiagnosed due to their rare incidence, anatomical location, and non-specific clinical presentation. We presented a 21-year-old patient with a perianal fistula history who underwent surgery. Nonetheless, she showed recurrence, and the cystic hamartoma was found in the resonance imaging. Therefore, the definitive treatment was complete resection of the lesion by posterior approach (Kraske-Mason).

Multimodal imaging in a patient with combined hamartoma of the retina and retina pigment epithelium / Imagem multimodal em paciente com hamartoma combinado da retina e epitélio pigmentar da retina

ABSTRACT Combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium is a rare, benign intraocular tumor. Hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium has been described in the literature as a condition presenting with variable retinal damage, ranging from partial epiretinal involvement to complete distortion of the retinal layers and retinal pigment epithelium. We report the case of an 8-year-old girl presenting with longstanding strabismus who was diagnosed with Hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium based on multimodal imaging assessment. We explored the particular imaging findings from studies using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, fundus autofluorescence, optical coherence tomography angiography, and fluorescein angiography.

RESUMO O hamartoma combinado de retina e epitélio pigmentar da retina consiste em um tumor intraocular raro com comportamento benigno. O hamartoma combinado de retina e epitélio pigmentar da retina foi descrito na literatura apresentando dano retiniano variável, desde o envolvimento epirretiniano parcial até distorção completa das camadas retinianas e do epitélio pigmentar da retina. Relatamos o caso de uma menina de 8 anos com estrabismo de longa data que foi diagnosticada com hamartoma combinado de retina e epitélio pigmentar da retina, com base na avaliação de imagem multimodal. Exploramos os achados de imagem específicos de estudos usando tomografia de coerência óptica de domínio espectral, autofluorescência, angiografia por tomografia de coerência óptica e angiografia fluorescente.
