Abstract:
We have experienced a case of malignant melanoma of choroid in 60-year-old female who had decreased visual acuity in her right eye for 4 months. She was examined with slit-lamp, direct and indirect ophthalmoscope, ultrasonography, fluor escein angiography, computerized tomography, and then diagnosed as malignant melanoma of choroid. So enucleation was performed and the tumor was confirmed to be a choroidal malignant melanoma composed of spindle cells and epithelioid cells by light microscope.
