Combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium has been described as a rare, benign tumor formed by an overgrowth of several constituents of the retina such as the retinal pigment epithelial cells, vascular elements, and glial components.1 Despite its varied clinical appearance it is important to recognize this tumor as it is known to simulate intraocular malignancies like retinoblastoma and choroidal melanoma.
