Retinal Pigment Epithelial Tumor in a Young Asian Female

Purpose To report a case of low-grade adenocarcinoma of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in a young Asian woman. Methods Interventional case report with histopathologic correlation. Results A 28-year-old Asian woman with a year-long history of floaters presented with a dark pigmented lesion in the right eye. Partial lamellar sclerouvectomy was performed and histopathology revealed a retina pigment epithelial neoplasm consistent with a low-grade adenocarcinoma. The patient responded well to the surgery with no complications. Conclusions Neoplasms of RPE are rare but must be differentiated from choroidal melanoma, as they do not tend to metastasize. Local resection can be a good option for peripheral RPE tumors.
