    Abstract

    Purpose: To describe the case of an elderly man who was incidentally found to have multiple hypopigmented choroidal lesions in the left eye in the absence of intraocular inflammation. Methods: A case report was analyzed, including the laboratory workup and imaging results. Results: The workup for conditions, including birdshot chorioretinopathy, syphilis, and tuberculosis, were negative. Ancillary imaging confirmed a diagnosis of uveal lymphoid hyperplasia (ULH). The patient was stable under observation for more than 1 year. Conclusions: Careful examination and imaging findings can aid in differentiating between ULH and other diagnoses.
