  • Massive Choroidal Melanoma

    Jun 18 2025 by Corey R Lacher, MD

    A 57-year-old patient presented with no light perception vision in her right eye. B-scan ultrasonography revealed evidence of a large choroidal melanoma. External photography demonstrated detached retina visible just posterior to the lens. The patient subsequently underwent enucleation, and histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of choroidal melanoma. The tumor measured 24 mm anteroposteriorly, 24 mm horizontally, and 25 mm vertically.

    Jan 28 2025 by Korey Starkey

    Slit-lamp image of 90-year-old patient with iris melanoma and new hemorrhage affecting the right eye. Patient re-presented after nearly 1 year, now seeking treatment.

  • Choroidal Melanoma

    Mar 26 2024 by Xitlali Caterina

    Ultra-widefield fundus photograph of a 40-year-old woman with Choroidal Melanoma in right eye. Patient present with 20/50+2 vision in the right eye. Patient reported having frequent headaches located frontal area of their head and sometimes radiated to the right side as well. Patient also noted eye pain in both eyes that has remained constant for many years, as well as light sensitivity. The physician stated that since this is a medium-sized tumor, the treatment options include I-125 brachytherapy or enucleation. He recommended I-125 brachytherapy.

  • Enucleation of an Eye with Advanced Choroidal Melanoma with Implant and Donor Sclera Replacement

    Jan 11 2021 by Sophia El Hamichi, MD

    Surgery of the left eye affected with advanced melanoma: Upper left image: separating the sclera from the conjunctiva and the tenon by performing a peritomy, then separating the rectus muscles that will be later sutured to the donor sclera, to preserve post-op motility. Upper right image: cutting the optic nerve. Middle left image: the globe is enucleated. Middle right image: dissection of the globe showing the melanoma. Tissue is then sent to pathology Lower left image: putting the porous polyethyline implant inside the donor sclera and marking muscles' insertion. Lower right image: reinsertion of the rectus muscles on the donor sclera, then covering with tenon and conjunctiva.

  • Choroidal Melanoma with Extraocular Extension

    May 18 2020 by McGill University Health Centre

    Choroidal melanoma is often asymptomatic and diagnosis is incidental. The tumors may grow beneath the retina, or may break through the Bruch membrane and disrupt the retina. Tumors breaking through the Bruch membrane and disrupting the retina have a characteristic “mushroom” shape. The diffuse melanoma seen in this enucleation specimen is infiltrating the choroid. Extensive areas of necrosis and hemorrhage are present (arrowhead). The extraocular involvement is large and surrounded by hemorrhage (*). The retina is folded (arrow).
