Abstract
Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) adenoma is a rare intraocular benign tumor. It is almost always misdiagnosed as uveal melanoma (UM) resulting in inappropriate management. The purpose of this study was to investigate MRI features of the RPE adenoma that may help differentiate this entity from UM.Funding Information
