Magnetic Resonance Imaging Diagnosis of Choroidal Melanoma

Choroidal melanoma has a very rare incidence in Africa and Asia, especially in the Middle East. We report the first case of choroidal melanoma in Lebanon in a 33-year-old man presenting with progressive loss of vision in his right eye. MRI showed retinal detachment with evidence of a nodular-like le...

description Choroidal melanoma has a very rare incidence in Africa and Asia, especially in the Middle East. We report the first case of choroidal melanoma in Lebanon in a 33-year-old man presenting with progressive loss of vision in his right eye. MRI showed retinal detachment with evidence of a nodular-like lesion most consistent with choroidal melanoma. The patient underwent enucleation of the right eye globe and the diagnosis was confirmed on pathology.
