Clinical and imaging features of choroidal melanocytic lesions. Case 1: Circumpapillary pigmented choroidal lesion lacking orange pigment (a). Fundus autoflouroscense (b) is indistinct with no lipofuscin. Enhanced depth imaging-optical coherence tomography (c) normal photoreceptors and absence of SRF, consistent with choroidal nevus. Case 2: Pigmented choroidal lesion with overlying orange pigment, diffuse hyperautofluorescence (e) and the subfoveal fluid with shaggy photoreceptors (f) suggestive of choroidal melanoma. Case 3: Pigmented choroidal lesion with orange pigment (g), patchy hyperautofluorescence with sedimentation (h), and overlying SRF and shaggy photoreceptors (i), suggestive of choroidal
melanoma. Using risk factors for detection and prognostication of uveal melanoma. Rishi P, Koundanya VV, Shields CL - Indian journal of ophthalmology (2015). Not Altered. CC.

How is Uveal Nevi Diagnosed?
Uveal nevi is diagnosed by fundoscopy.
How is Uveal Nevi Treated?
Uveal nevi is treated with local excision, or argon laser photoablation.
