Choroidal nevus transformation into melanoma: analysis of 2514 consecutive cases.

Objective: To determine features that are predictive of growth of choroidal nevi into melanoma.

Methods: This was a retrospective medical record review of 2514 consecutive eyes; Kaplan-Meier estimates and Cox regression analyses were used.

Results: The median tumor basal diameter was 5.

Clinical spectrum of choroidal nevi based on age at presentation in 3422 consecutive eyes.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical features of choroidal nevi based on patient age at presentation and to investigate features of the nevi that are predictive of patient symptoms.

Design: Observational case series.

Participants: Three thousand four hundred twenty-two consecutive eyes of 3187 patients.

Visual acuity in 3422 consecutive eyes with choroidal nevus.

Objective: To evaluate visual acuity in eyes with choroidal nevus.

Design: This was an observational case series. Of 3422 consecutive eyes with choroidal nevus, vision loss at 15 years occurred in 2% of eyes with extrafoveolar nevus and in 26% of eyes with subfoveolar nevus, particularly those with overlying retinal pigment epithelial detachment and foveal edema.
