Diagnosis of Choroidal Melanoma

Abstract

The diagnosis of choroidal melanoma is based largely upon clinical examination findings and is supported by multimodal imaging. In the current era, an experienced clinician can diagnose these tumors with a high degree of accuracy. Ultrasonography, angiography, optical coherence tomography, transillumination, and other ancillary imaging techniques help to characterize choroidal melanoma and are particularly useful in differentiating these tumors from other malignant and benign simulating conditions.
