  • Choroidal Melanoma (USG)

    Jul 5 2025 by Gustavo Uriel Fonseca Aguirre

    This B-mode transverse ultrasound scan reveals a mushroom-shaped choroidal tumor in the inferior nasal quadrant adjacent to the optic nerve head. The lesion appears solid with homogeneous internal reflectivity and is associated with minimal surrounding subretinal fluid and scleral excavation. It measures 6.54 mm in height × 7.52 mm in base diameter (transverse view) and extends 9.52 mm longitudinally. The vitreous contains abundant punctate opacities consistent with pigment dispersion. The retina and choroid remain attached elsewhere.

  • Choroidal Melanoma

    Jul 3 2025 by Gustavo Uriel Fonseca Aguirre

    This B-mode transverse ultrasound scan shows asteroid hyalosis with partial posterior vitreous detachment. A dome-shaped choroidal melanoma is observed in the inferior quadrant (preequatorial to equatorial region), appearing as a solid, regularly bordered lesion with heterogeneous internal structure and mild acoustic attenuation. Standardized A-mode reveals medium-to-low internal reflectivity. The tumor measures 11.62 mm in base diameter and 6.60 mm in height. The retina and choroid remain attached, with minimal suprachoroidal fluid in the inferior quadrant.

  • 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.

  • Optic Nerve Melanocytoma

    May 4 2025 by KANWALJEET HARJOT MADAN, M.S. (Ophthalmology); FAICO (Vitreous - Retina)

    This is a fundus picture of a young 42-year male who visited for a routine eye exam. His BCVA was 20/20 in both eyes. Anterior segment examination was normal. His left eye showed grey-black pigmentation at the infero-nasal margin of the optic disc. Fundus of the right eye was normal. The patient was diagnosed to have optic disc melanocytoma on multimodal imaging and was advised regular follow-up. Optic nerve melanocytoma is typically a benign tumor made up of melanocytes and melanin. It can grow, but rarely transforms into a malignancy. Patients with Optic Nerve Melanocytoma should be periodically examined for evidence of growth, loss of visual field and optic nerve compression.

  • Uveal Melanoma

    Apr 26 2025 by Vishal Agrawal, MD, FRCS,FACS,FASRS

    A 32 year-old male presented with complaints of perceiving a shadow in OS for 15-20 days. His BCVA was 20/20 OU. On Fundus examination, a large, elevated, well-defined, pigmented choroidal mass with few hemorrhages over the lesion was seen and a provisional diagnosis of uveal melanoma was made. urgent oncological consultation was recommended for further treatment.
