Core Tip

Core Tip: Combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium(CHRRPE) is a rare benign retinal tumor, especially in atypical cases with vitreous hemorrhage and retinal hole, and is likely to be misdiagnosed by inexperienced young doctors. Fundus fluorescein angiography is instructive when diagnosis is difficult, and some etiological tests can also help to identify other inflammatory diseases. This article provides an example of diagnosis to aid young doctors’ reflection and learning.
