title: Choroidal melanocytes and associated pathology.
abstract: The embryologic origins of choroidal and cutanoeus melanocytes, also of the genes involved in cutaneous and choroidal melanoma, are identical, even the two kinds of tumors are different entities. This is a general scientific report, which stretches the molecular mechanisms, as basement of choroidal melanocytes proliferation.
