Arch Ophthalmol. 1991 Apr;109(4):547-9. doi: 10.1001/archopht.1991.01080040115041.

Abstract

Cutaneous malignant melanoma metastatic to the eye is a well-documented occurrence in the ophthalmic literature. Typically, ocular metastatic disease occurs concomitantly with or following the documentation of disseminated metastases. We present the clinical and histopathologic findings in a 62-year-old man whose first manifestation of metastatic cutaneous melanoma was his choroidal lesion.
