- Description
- Peripheral albinotic spot. This discrete lesion is due to the reduction or absence of pigment granules in an otherwise normal RPE. The choriocapillaris and photoreceptor cells are normal. The lower left view shows the abrupt transition from pigment-containing RPE to that which is void of melanin pigment. The lower right view is from the center of the lesion.
