Uveal amelanotic melanoma in a ragdoll cat.

A 13-year-old castrated male ragdoll cat's left eye was evaluated for dyscoria, iridal thickening and color change of 2 years duration, as well as elevated intraocular pressure. The primary lesion seen on ophthalmic examination was a pale pink-white mass observed in the dorsomedial aspect of a diffusely thickened iris. Metastatic workup revealed hepatic and splenic nodules, but cytology was inconclusive. The left eye was enucleated, and histopathology was consistent with uveal amelanotic melanoma.
