Description

49-year-old female referred for presumed ocular melanoma. On examination was noted to have darkly pigmented lesion in the temporal retina of left eye. Lesion had characteristic scalloped edges with central lacunae, however, on ultrasonography was noted to have 1.8mm of elevation with high internal reflectivity. IVFA shows absence of dual circulation with areas of window defect. Findings were consistent with those described by Shields et al., in their April 2001 article in Archives of Ophthalmology.
