Abstract
Congenital hypertrophy of retinal pigment epithelium (CHRPE) is a benign, pigmented, flat lesion arising from the retinal pigment epithelium. We present a case of relatively large CHRPE in a 45-year-old woman. Ophthalmoscopy revealed a well‑demarcated, flat, brownish‑black pigmented lesion with lacunae in inferonasal quadrant in the left eye. The size of the lesion was approximately 12 mm, which was relatively large compared to previous reports.
