Echographic follow up of malignant melanoma of the choroid after brachytherapy with iodine-125.

A 52-year-old male patient is presented. The patient was referred to our service for a pigmented tumor of the inferonasal quadrant of retina in OD. Fundus examination confirmed a pigmented tumor of 3 DD, elevated and dome shaped. Ultrasonography showed a dome shaped lesion of 6.3 mm at the base and 3.29 mm in height, medium internal reflectivity and positive for vascularity. Clinical diagnosis of choroidal melanoma was made and brachytherapy with iodine-125 was performed. Findings recorded at 3-year ultrasonographic follow up are discussed.
