Posterior scleral melanocytosis: a novel fundus finding masquerading as a choroidal nevus

Conclusion: To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of posterior scleral melanocytosis, a pigmented fundus lesion confined to the inner sclera. The need for high-penetrance optical coherence tomography to differentiate these lesions from a typical choroidal nevus may explain why this entity has not been previously described. The true nature of this entity will ultimately require histopathologic study.
