Indian Journal of Ophthalmology. 2011 May; 59(3): 233-236.http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/136178Subretinal lipid exudation in an untreated choroidal melanoma is very rare. It is seen following plaque radiotherapy in choroidal melanoma. There is only one case report of untreated choroidal melanoma with massive lipid exudation in a patient with metastatic hypernephroma. We report here a rare case of untreated choroidal melanoma with lipid exudation. Subretinal exudation that is rarely seen following plaque brachytherapy was noted at the borders of this untreated tumor. Lipid exudation partially resolved following brachytherapy.enChoroidal melanomahard exudateslipid exudationBrachytherapy --adverse effectsChoroid Neoplasms --diagnosisChoroid Neoplasms --metabolismChoroid Neoplasms --radiotherapyExudates and Transudates --metabolismHumansLipid MetabolismMagnetic Resonance ImagingMaleMelanoma --diagnosisMelanoma --metabolismMelanoma --radiotherapyMiddle AgedRare DiseasesRetina --metabolismTomography, Optical CoherenceVision DisordersArticle
