Widefield fundus photograph of a 37 year old showing a large, dome-shaped, intraocular mass involving the temporal retina. The lesion appears elevated and lacks surface pigmentation. Overlying retinal vessels are displaced and draped across the tumor surface, with surrounding retinal elevation noted. The appearance is suggestive of amelanotic variant of choroidal melanoma.

78 year old male with sudden decrease in vision. Poor view due significant asteroid hyalosis. Bscan showed large nasal choroidal and near total retinal detachments, attached temporally. No obvious break found. Regressed tumor inferiorly s/p brachytherapy in April 2023. BCVA 20/320, IOP of 03. Pt schedule for primary PPV and possible SB placement vs. GFE

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.

63 year old male with new choroidal melanoma. Pt states vision has been poor for 2 years, worsening in the last year. Bscan ultrasound shows lesion extends into the macula up to the optic nerve. Recommended enucleation due to size of lesion (7.7 x 15.6 x 15.2) and poor prognosis of visual recovery. Surgery will be scheduled pending CT scan results.

60 year old male referred by optometrist for retinal detachment. Pt had been having symptoms of flashing lights and shadow in vision for approximately 1 month. Exam and diagnostics consistent with choroidal melanoma with exudative detachment inferior. Due to size of lesion (10.8 x 14.8 x 13.2) enucleation was recommended. Pt will be scheduled for surgery pending CT scan results.

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 shows a pigmented dome-shaped choroidal melanoma (arrow). The cataractous lens is dislocated (*) and the retina is folded (•).

Condition/keywords: enucleation

Ultra-Widefield pseudo-color and autofluorescence imaging of a 59 year old male with Choroidal Melanoma affecting his left eye. Patient reported floaters OS for months prior to examination as well as 1-2 weeks of "tunnel vision". Patient denies personal history of cancer. Patient's vision at time of examination was CF@5FT. Due to the Tumor size, the patient has developed a serous retina detachment in their inferior retina

56 year old female with new choroidal melanoma. Pt states they have a "freckle" that had been monitored for 26 years, last CEE was over 2 years ago. Clinical exam and ancillary testing consistent with uveal melanoma. Pt scheduled for plaque brachytherapy with transretinal biopsy of the tumor for genetic testing. Pt also scheduled for CT scan of chest/abdomen to rule out metastatic disease.
