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.
