    Description
    B-scan ultrasound image depicting a choroidal melanoma with the classic “mushroom-shaped” configuration, resulting from Bruch’s membrane rupture and dome-shaped tumor growth. The lesion shows internal echogenicity and well-defined borders, consistent with the typical echographic appearance of malignant uveal tumors.
