Abstract
The differential diagnosis of a pigmented choroidal lesion includes choroidal nevus, choroidal melanoma, congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (CHRPE), melanocytoma, extramacular disciform lesion, and other rarer entities. Given that a missed uveal melanoma diagnosis can be life-threatening, both general ophthalmologists and retinal specialists should be well versed in distinguishing these lesions from each other.
