    Description
    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.
