  • Title: Choroidal melanoma clinically simulating a retinal angioma.
    Author: Shields JA, Joffe L, Guibor P.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1978 Jan; 85(1):67-71. PubMed ID: 619687.
    Abstract:
    An amelanotic fundus lesion in a 35-year-old man was associated with a dilated retinal vessel, thus suggesting the diagnosis of retinal angioma. Fluorescein angiography and B-scan ultrasonography were not diagnostic, but a radioactive phosphorus uptake test suggested the lesion was malignant. The enucleated globe showed a malignant choroidal melanoma drained by a large retinal vein.
