Background And Aim: Ocular sarcoidosis is present in 30-60% of all sarcoidosis patients. Our purpose is to increase awareness of the various presentations of ocular sarcoidosis.
Methods: Short image-based clinical case report.
Results: We report on a case of ocular sarcoidosis presenting with unilateral choroidal nodules in a middle-aged man. Sarcoid uveitis is generally bilateral and rather symmetrical. However, choroidal nodules are an exception to this rule, as they generally arise unilaterally. Choroidal nodules are highly responsive to oral corticosteroids. When left untreated, they may evolve to chorioretinal atrophy and secondary choroidal neovascularization.
Conclusions: Knowledge of this presentation of ocular sarcoidosis can help clinicians optimize treatment outcomes for patients.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant genetic multisystem phakomatosis that can affect the skin, bones, and nervous system. NF1 typically presents with skin lesions, including freckles, café-au-lait macules, plexiform neurofibromas, and bony dysplasia, and is usually accompanied by a family history of the disorder. Ocular manifestations vary, but iris Lisch nodules and optic nerve gliomas are the most common features.

Background: Neurofibromatosis type 1 is an autosomal dominant disorder predisposing to numerous tumors. Sporadic mutations account for half of the cases. They can occur on a mosaic pattern, which might remain undiagnosed, depending on the clinical phenotype.

It can be inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, but almost half of cases occur de novo. NF1 is associated with café-au-lait macules, freckles in the inguinal and axillary region, neurofibromas, Lisch nodules of the iris or choroidal abnormalities, optic pathway gliomas, and distinctive bone anomalies.

Introduction: Malignant melanomas occur most commonly in the skin, mucous membranes, or choroid. Clitoral malignant melanomas are extremely rare. Stage IV malignant melanomas have a poor prognosis, and molecularly targeted agents or immune checkpoint inhibitors are recommended.
