title: [The other pigmented lesions].
abstract: Not all intraocular pigmented lesions are melanomas or nevi. In this article, we present what we classically consider to be the main pigmented stains other than melanomas and nevi and their possible forms of treatment. Regarding tumor-related stains, we describe melanocytomas, congenital hypertrophy or reactive hyperplasia of the retinal pigment epithelium, combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium, and acquired vascular pseudotumors. Among the hemorrhage-related stains, we present pseudotumoral age-related macular degeneration, peripheral exudative and hemorrhagic chorioretinopathy, choroidal hematoma, and rupture of macroaneurysms.
