High-resolution spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) is a new exciting technology for visualization of microstructural alterations in retinal diseases.¹ We investigated the applicability of this noninvasive method to detect in vivo early vitreous seeding of a histologically proven choroidal melanoma with transretinal tumor extension (Knapp-Rønne melanoma).

Report of a Case

A 68-year-old man had blurred vision and inferotemporal visual field defect of the right eye for 4 months. His visual acuity was 20/30 OD and 20/20 OS. On funduscopy, a large pigmented choroidal mass with overlying hemorrhages was observed in the superonasal quadrant (Figure, A).
