Because it may be misdiagnosed as a malignant melanoma of the choroid or retinoblastoma, the differential diagnosis is very important. In this study, clinical and optical coherence tomographic (OCT) characteristics of three cases with CHRRPE are presented and the differential diagnosis is discussed.
