DOI: 10.1159/000484937
Abstract: Ocular melanocytosis portends a higher risk of uveal melanoma. Multifocal uveal melanoma has been described previously and has been associated with ocular melanocytosis. Historically, histopathology has been used to differentiate tumors; however, molecular profiling now… read more here.

DOI: 10.1159/000522262
Abstract: Isolated choroidal melanocytosis is a rare condition that appears to be a limited form of ocular melanocytosis. Ocular melanocytosis has been known to be associated with an increased risk of uveal melanoma, and more recently,… read more here.
