Abstract
Combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium has been de scribed as a rare, benign tumor formed by an overgrowth of several constitu ents of the retina such as the retinal pigment epithelial cells, vascular e lements, and glial components.(1) Despite its varied clinical appearance it is important to recognize this tumor as it is known to simulate intraocula r malignancies like retinoblastoma and choroidal melanoma.(2)
