Choroidal melanoma-associated retinal and retinal pigment epithelial changes.
Many clinical findings associated with choroidal melanoma are the result of secondary changes in the adjacent tissues. There may be alterations in the choriocapillaris, the RPE, the Bruch's membrane, and the sensory retina. Proper identification of these changes is essential for diagnosis and management.
