Endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis masquerading as an intraocular tumor

A 40-year-old female patient referred for a possible intraocular tumor was found to have an endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis in her right eye. Fundus examination revealed an amelanotic dome shaped choroidal mass and an exudative retinal detachment. Enhanced Depth Imaging-Optical Coherence Tomogr...

description A 40-year-old female patient referred for a possible intraocular tumor was found to have an endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis in her right eye. Fundus examination revealed an amelanotic dome shaped choroidal mass and an exudative retinal detachment. Enhanced Depth Imaging-Optical Coherence Tomography (EDI-OCT), fundus autofluorescence (FAF) and ultrasounds were suggestive of a possible choroidal melanoma. A multimodal imaging approach and a thorough anamnesis were instrumental in establishing the correct diagnosis.
