Retinal Pigment Epithelial Adenocarcinoma Presenting as an Amelanotic Mass.

Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) neoplasms are extraordinarily rare and have been infrequently described in the literature. Most RPE tumors are pigmented and may simulate choroidal melanoma. The best management of RPE tumors has not yet been elucidated. In the current case, a 36-year-old man presenting with visual disturbance is found to have biopsy-proven RPE adenocarcinoma with subfoveal fluid. He is treated with grid laser over the lesion with complete resolution of fluid. RPE adenocarcinoma can present as an amelanotic mass, and grid laser over the lesion may represent a novel approach for treating associated subretinal fluid.
