Neoplasms of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) are very rare and can clinically simulate choroidal melanoma. The clinical, histopathological and immunohistochemical features of incidental double pseudo-neoplastic proliferation of the RPE in an eviscerated eye for phthisis bulbi are reported. The differential diagnosis of RPE neoplasms and the utility of histopatological examination of eviscerated/enucleated eyes are discussed.

Abstract
Neoplasms of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) are very rare and can clinically simulate choroidal melanoma. The clinical, histopathological and immunohistochemical features of incidental double pseudo-neoplastic proliferation of the RPE in an eviscerated eye for phthisis bulbi are reported. The differential diagnosis of RPE neoplasms and the utility of histopatological examination of eviscerated/enucleated eyes are discussed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
