CHOROIDAL NEVUS


A choroidal nevus is a pigmentation on the back of the eye. It needs to be watched on a regular basis to make sure it does not begin to grow and become a malignant melanoma. This rarely happens but the seriousness of melanoma justifies the yearly monitoring.
Just below this post is a picture of a much smaller nevus.
