Purpose To report a case of misdiagnosed choroidal hemangioma, initially treated as central serous retinopathy (CSR) complicated by choroidal neovascularization (CNV), and to improve the proper identification of this disorder. Observations Fundus images revealed a subtle, elevated choroidal lesion with an associated exudative detachment and choroidal vascular lesion on indocyanine green (ICG) angiography. Combined treatment with photodynamic therapy (PDT) and anti-VEGF therapy led to resolution of fluid and improvement in VA from 20/50 to 20/25. Conclusion It is critical to understand the clinical features of choroidal hemangiomas and their physical presentation on retinal testing to diagnose and treat them in a timely and appropriate manner.
