Abstract:

Purpose Report the clinical and imaging findings of a patient with an intraretinal benign tumor that was documented as an unexpected clinical finding after an ischemic stroke in the context of mitral valve disease. This tumor must be distinguished from retinoblastoma and other malignant neoplasms. Methods A patient with intraretinal tumor of the inner nuclear layer (INL) underwent a combination of ophthalmic examination, fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) Results A 64-year-old male patient with unilateral benign tumor lesions dependent on the internal retina, centered in the posterior pole, and multifocal. OCT showed that these lesions were centered within the INL at the edge of the inner plexiform layer and were not associated with other findings in the posterior pole. Conclusions Benign Lobular Inner Nuclear Layer Proliferations (BLIP) of the Retina are recently described lesions that should be considered, given their distinctive characteristics that set them apart from other benign and malignant retinal lesions.
