Abstract
A 37-year-old man underwent an enucleation of his left eye because of a lesion that demonstrated the clinical and fluorescein angiographic characteristics of a malignant melanoma. Histologic examination of the eye disclosed a chorioretinal inflammatory mass caused by refractile crystalline material.
