    Description
    A 30 year-old female patient underwent OCT, OCTA and retinography, we can see a lesion in the optic nerve with neovascularization, a retinal hamartoma is suspected. It is a rare benign tumor, this lesion is composed of melanocytic tissue (glial and vascular). It is generally thought to be congenital and not hereditary. In the images we can see that the tumor is highly vascularized and that it extends to the foveal sector.
