We report a case of congenital simplex retinal pigment epithelium hamartoma in a 4-week-old premature boy. The bilateral anterior segment examination was normal in the patient. There was no pathology in the left eye in fundus examination. The fundus examination of his right eye revealed a foveal pigmented lesion which was half of optic disc size. In the patient, the optical coherence tomography showed hyper-refl ectivity in the inner retinal layers and shading due to lesion in the other layers. B-scan sonography showed a small echogenic nodular mass. Keywords : Congenital simple hamartoma of retinal pigment epithelium, premature, optical coherence tomography
