Description: 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.
