Resumen
The choroidal melanoma is the most frequent intraocular tumor in elderly, occurring mainly in the 60th. This paper shows a misdiagnosis tumor affecting a female aging 36 years-old, misdiagnosed and initially treated as a toxoplasmic uveitis. The tumor had orbit and neck metastasis. The authors call attention to the necessity of early diagnosis to improve the outcome.
