- Description
- Very large choroidal melanoma in the left eye of a 51-year-old man with long-standing poor vision in the right eye from a childhood injury (with traumatic macular hole and chorioretinal scarring). Note the large superior choroidal tumor with overlying subretinal hemorrhage and extensive inferior exudative retinal detachment. B-Scan ultrasound shows the collar-stud shape of the lesion and the overlying subretinal hemorrhage which is hyper-reflective compared to the vitreous and slightly hypo-reflective compared to the tumor. The patient has optic disk drusen in both eyes. He elected enucleation.
