Abstract: A 68-year-old man was referred to our tertiary eye hospital with a suspicion of choroidal melanoma in the left eye. Clinical examination showed a choroidal lesion with extensive subretinal hemorrhages. Next follow up visit showed a rapid decrease in the size of the lesion. The lesion was considered vascular in nature based on extensive hemorrhages and rapid variability in size. Later on, the lesion showed a slow grow up over time together with additional b scan findings that led to the final diagnosis of choroidal melanoma.
