Abstract
We describe a case of choroidal melanoma initially presenting with orbital cellulitis, fulminant conjunctival swelling, and secondary angle closure. Despite treatment with intravenous antibiotics, the patient's condition did not improve. With further investigations including ultrasound scan and magnetic resonance imaging, a high-density lesion was found within the globe. Characteristic imaging findings suggested a malignant origin and the lesion was found to be a melanoma on histopathological analysis.Entities:
