The authors describe five patients with circumscribed choroidal hemangiomas. Fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, and ultrasound examinations showed progressive enlargement of these hemangiomas. In all cases, the extent of lesion enlargement was slight: the mean change in tumor size was 1.6 mm x 1.5 mm in basal diameters by 0.9 mm in thickness during a median interval of 52 months (range 33 to 100 months) between initial tumor diagnosis and detection of lesion enlargement. This series of cases demonstrates that circumscribed choroidal hemangiomas can enlarge slightly during long intervals between observations.
