A member asked:
What is congenital hypertrophy of retinal pigmentation epithelium?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is: A very darkly pigmented lesion of the retina found during an eye exam. It is similar to a mole or nevus, but has some distinctive differences. Unlike a mole, it cannot become cancerous. It does not affect the vision and should be of no concern to you.
