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.

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. This enucleation specimen demonstrates a section of a choroidal melanoma showing an intraocular tumor with an extraocular extension (arrow).

Uveal melanoma is the most common primary eye malignancy in adulthood, occurring mainly after age 60. The uveal tract — composed of the iris, ciliary body, and choroid — can be affected by uveal melanoma. Despite advances in treatment of the primary tumor, metastatic disease occurs in almost half of patients, generally affecting the liver and lungs via hematogenous dissemination of the primary tumor. Tumors have different levels of pigmentation, and some are amelanocytic (nonpigmented). The differential diagnosis for amelanotic choroidal melanoma is metastatic disease. Large tumors displace the lens. Of the 3 locations in the uveal tract, tumors of the ciliary body have the worst prognosis. The enucleation specimen in (A) shows a firm, dome-shaped, deeply pigmented tumor arising from the ciliary body (arrow). The lens has been removed, and a diffuse retinal detachment artifact is present.

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. This enucleation specimen shows an amelanotic, dome-shaped choroidal tumor with several dilated blood vessels. The tumor has not infiltrated the sclera, ciliary body, or optic nerve. Note the retinal detachment next to the tumor (arrow).
