Classification of pseudomelanomas of the choroid
| Pigmented lesions | |
| Melanocytic derived | Examples: nevus, melanocytoma, metastasis, indeterminate melanocytic lesions, and bilateral diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation |
| Retinal pigmented epithelium derived | Examples: adenoma, combined hamartoma, reactive hyperplasia, and congenital hyperplasia of the retinal pigmented epithelium |
| Non-pigmented lesions | |
| Neoplasm | Primary: e.g., hemangioma and osteoma |
| Secondary: e.g., metastasis and lymphoreticular | |
| Non-neoplasm | Vascular: e.g., disciform, retinal vasoproliferative tumors |
| Inflammatory: e.g., scleritis and tuberculosis | |
