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.

Ultra-widefield fundus photograph and autofluorescence of a 62-year-old woman with endometrial cancer, denoting choroidal metastasis with unusual orange pigment. This presentation is a reminder that the development of orange pigment is not pathognomonic for choroidal melanoma, as it may be seen in other lesions such as carcinoma metastasis.

89-year-old female with extra-scleral extension of choroidal metastatic melanoma. Patient hadn't been seen by any eye doctor in 3 years prior to this visit. Noticed scleral darkening about 6 months ago, with vision loss noted for about 4-5 months. Presented with LP vision. Emergent MRI of brain/orbit showed no extension beyond what is seen at slit lamp. CT C/A/P w/ contrast ordered and found 2 hepatic lesions, concerning for potential mets. Patient referred to medical oncology.

Large, dome-shaped peripheral choroidal melanoma of the left eye with inferior exudative retinal detachment. Note the lack of obvious orange pigment over the tumor and apparent drusen anteriorly. A lack of ophthalmoscopically obvious lipofuscin is not uncommon among larger choroidal melanomas. B-Scan ultrasonography (transverse, 10 o’clock) confirms a low-moderate internally reflective dome-shaped choroidal lesion with a small adjacent retinal detachment. Ultrasound biomicroscopy (radial, 10 o’clock) confirms no ciliary body involvement of the tumor.
