    Description
    54 year old female referred for choroidal lesion with possible retinal detachment. Pt states she did not notice any vision changes until she failed exam at the DMV. On exam there is a large pigmented ciliary body mass with a height measuring 13.2 mm. Ultrasound shows large mass with low internal reflectivity and vascularity. Due to tumor size enucleation was recommended. Pt will be scheduled for surgery pending CT scan results. Also ordered blood test HLA-A0201 to check eligibility for Kimmtrak if cancer spreads.
