CHOROIDAL NEOVASCULARIZATION ASSOCIATED WITH MALIGNANT MELANOMA:

Abstract

Subretinal neovascularization observed over an elevated, pigmented choroidal lesion is usually considered evidence in favor of a benign nature, i.e., a nevus. Histologic verification of malignant melanoma with choroidal neovascularization was not previously reported. A case [human] of subretinal neovascularization documented by fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, and histology in an eye containing a malignant choroidal melanoma is presented.
