Table 1.

Raw data on 37 cases of isolated choroidal melanocytosis. Cases are listed in ascending order by age at initial evaluation in the Ocular Oncology Service. This series includes 11 cases reported in 2006 [1]. Those 11 cases are identified by the case numbers assigned to them in the 2006 publication in the second column of this table
