Curvilinear pigmentary lesions in a rod-cone dystrophy

PURPOSE. To report a peculiar curvilinear pigmentary lesion in the peripheral fundus in a rodcone dystrophy. METHODS. Observational case report. Fundus examination of a 57-year-old woman who was known to have a generalized rod-cone dystrophy since she was 8 years old: RESULTS. The peripheral fundus examination revealed a curvilinear lesion which resembles a well-known finding associated with a presumed ocular histoplasmosis syndrome or multifocal choroiditis. CONCLUSIONS. The differential diagnosis of a peculiar curvilinear pigmentary lesion in the peripheral fundus may be expanded to include a generalized rod-cone dystrophy.
