Nevus of Ota: Another specimen from an eye enucleated for a posterior uveal malignant melanoma. Stout cellular processes laden with pigment granules are partially hidden by smooth surface fibroblastic layer, which is prominent in this region. Spheroidal cellular processes project from iris surface. Melanin granules are large and fairly uniform in diameter (stereo SEM, X 640).
