| Abstrakt: | Purpose: To report a case of a focal scleral nodule (FSN) that demonstrated growth over three years. Methods: Case report. Results: An asymptomatic emmetropic 15-year-old female patient was referred with an incidental finding of a left fundus lesion on routine examination. On examination, there was an isolated 1.9-mm (vertical) × 1.4-mm (horizontal) diameter-raised, circular, pale, yellow-white lesion with an orange halo located along the inferotemporal vascular arcade. Enhanced-depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) demonstrated a focal protrusion of the sclera with thinning of the overlying choroid, consistent with focal scleral nodule (FSN). On EDI-OCT, the horizontal basal diameter measured 3138 μm, and its height was 528 μm. Three years later, the lesion had increased in size to 2.7-mm (vertical) × 2.1-mm (horizontal) diameter on color fundus photography and a horizontal basal diameter of 3991 μm and height of 647 μm on EDI-OCT. The patient remained systemically well without visual complaints. Conclusion: FSN can increase in size over time, suggesting that scleral remodeling within and around the lesion can occur. Longitudinal observation of FSN can help to inform its clinical course and shed insight into its pathogenesis. Competing Interests: The authors report no conflicts of interest.
