A case of metastasis of cutaneous malignant melanoma to the choroid was reported. The patient, a 61-year-old man, had undergone an amputation of his right first finger 3 years ago due to cutaneous malignant melanoma. Ophthalmoscopic examination revealed a whitish yellow elevated choroidal lesion and serous retinal detachment in the left eye. Fluorescein angiography demonstrated multiple pinpoint leaks in the early phase and progressive pooling of dye into the subretinal space in the late phase. In magnetic resonance imaging, the tumor showed a hyperintense image in both T1 and T2-weighted images. Autopsy was performed and histopathological examination of the eye showed that the tumor cells were polygonal in shape, and had round or oval nuclei, but the cytoplasms had little melanin pigment. Immunohistochemistry for S-100 and HMB-45 antibody showed positive staining in choroidal tumor and other metastatic lesions, indicating that they were metastatic tumors from cutaneous malignant melanoma (amelanotic melanoma cells).
