Differential diagnosis of peripheral tumors and pseudo‐tumors may be challenging in selected cases. Peripheral OCT allows the location of the tumors in various chorioretinal layers and the recognition of internal reflectivity of the tumors. In addition, the presence and extent of the serous retinal detachment is documented in order to observe the evolution in the time. Peripheral OCT contributes in addition to the definition of tumor borders and assists the treatment planning for radiation therapy. The use of peripheral OCT is a valuable diagnostic modality for the diagnosis and management of peripheral tumors and pseudo‐tumors.
