    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Incidental finding of mass lesion in the choroid represents a very challenging situation for the ophthalmologist. We describe a case of an incidental, computed tomography (CT)-hyperintense, choroidal lesion in a patient with parotid malignancy and renal failure, and how multimodal imaging helped us reaching the correct diagnosis. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 63-year-old man with parotid gland malignancy was brought to our attention because preoperative staging CT showed a hyperintense choroidal lesion of the right eye. Fundus examination showed a yellow elevated lesion near the superior temporal branch retinal artery. Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT), A- and B-scan ultrasonography, and Indocyanine Green Angiography (ICGA) allowed us to exclude a malignant lesion and to diagnose a sclerochoroidal calcification. CONCLUSION: Multimodal imaging can guide the clinician to choose the appropriate therapeutic approach even in case of uncommon conditions like sclerochoroidal calcification.
