Choroidal melanoma is an intraocular tumor that develops from the melanocytes of the choroid. It is a rare condition in young adults, where diagnosis are often delayed due to its atypical presentation. Its poor prognosis and inaccessibility to biopsy means that radical treatment is often used. This was the case for our young patient with amblyopia in the right eye, who presented with choroidal melanoma in the left eye, which had been enucleated. Unfortunately, these tumors are sometimes associated with intraocular inflammation, which can delay diagnosis. Multimodal imaging is therefore very useful in making an earlier diagnosis and choosing increasingly conservative treatments.
