Primary Choroidal Melanoma in a 30-year-old Woman with Monocular Flashers

Choroidal melanoma is the most common primary malignant tumor in the eye, but its diagnosis is often delayed due to non-specific symptoms. Early identification is crucial given relatively high rates of metastasis. This case highlights how a tentative diagnosis, made using point-of-care ultrasound and funduscopic examination, can drive timely referral to ophthalmology.

Abstract

Choroidal melanoma is the most common primary malignant tumor in the eye, but its diagnosis is often delayed due to non-specific symptoms. Early identification is crucial given relatively high rates of metastasis. This case highlights how a tentative diagnosis, made using point-of-care ultrasound and funduscopic examination, can drive timely referral to ophthalmology.
