Abstract Background To describe the superiority of ocular ultrasound in the diagnostic management of extrascleral extension in choroidal melanoma. Case presentation We present a case of a 94-year-old male with choroidal melanoma of the right eye imaged with MRI and ocular ultrasound to aid in the detection of extrascleral extension. Conclusions With advancement in technology and new imaging modalities emerging, it can become difficult to determine the best diagnostic approach for patients. We believe that ocular ultrasound remains the superior imaging modality in detection of extrascleral extension in choroidal melanoma. |
