UVEAL MELANOMA

Originally posted on @retina.rocks 05/14/2020

This 22YO white male presented with a large ciliary body uveal malignant melanoma that was about 14mm thick x 18mm in length on B-scan ultrasonography.

Unfortunately, the tumor required enucleation since it was too large for radioactive plaque therapy.

Learning Points:
Large and dilated episcleral (sentinel) vessels are often a tell-tale sign of an underlying tumor.
