The Development of Orange Pigment Overlying Choroidal Metastasis

Abstract

Aims: The aim of this study was to correlate the ophthalmoscopic and histopathological findings of orange pigment overlying a choroidal metastasis. Methods: This is a single case report with clinical follow-up and histopathological examination. Results: Histopathology revealed a choroidal metastasis with subretinal CD68-positive macrophages showing autofluorescent deposits in fluorescence microscopy. Conclusion: The development of orange pigment is not pathognomonic for choroidal melanoma but may be seen in other lesions such as carcinoma metastasis.
