Choroidal nevi are frequent, asymptomatic, usually easy-to-diagnose lesions. They can cause macular syndrome in patients with choridal degeneration or neovascularization. In doubtful cases, the combination of different diagnostic means, such as clinical examination, ultrasound, fluorescein angiography and indocyanine green (ICG) can help to correct the diagnosis. We here report the case of a female patient with atypical choroidal lesion, in whom multimodal imaging allowed to retain the diagnosis of achromic choroidal nevus complicated by choroidal neovascularization.

BACKGROUND Choroid plexus tumors (CPTs) are rare brain tumors that originate from the choroid plexus epithelium and range from low-grade papillomas to overtly malignant carcinomas, and can occur in newborns. According to the World Health Organization's histological classification, atypical choroid plexus papilloma (aCPP) is an intermediate-grade (Grade II) lesion characterized by an increased mitotic rate. It is difficult to distinguish CPTs on imaging during the early stages.

Choroidal osteoma is a rare, benign, osseous choristoma presenting as an orange-yellow, well-defined fundus mass. It presents unilaterally in most cases, has a predilection for the female sex, and favor a juxtapapillary location, becoming clinically manifest when it involves the macula. Almost 60% of eyes with osteoma may suffer significant visual loss.

Type 1 Neovascularization with Aneurysmal Dilations (N1a), is a retinal disorder characterized by choroidal vascular abnormalities. Clinically, it is characterized by an exudative maculopathy with multiple recurrent serosanguineous pigment epithelial detachments. This disease is more frequent in women aged 55-65 years.
