Uaru not sick but - Aquarium Advice

I have this Uaru that has two white marks on him. They don't seem to cause any irritation or any sort of discomfort. Here is a pic http://community.webshots.com/photo/...03714398IqVIfn
I thought it may be a scar. Just curious what this may be. The marks have been there for a few years. if anyone has seen these before and may know what they are please let me know.

They do look a lot like scars. Have they stayed the same size relative to the fish? I can't imagine that it could be a fungal or bacterial infection that hasn't killed the fish over the 'few years' you've had it. Doesn't look like any sort of parasite that I'm familiar with either.
