Late Recurrence Of Malignant Choroidal Melanoma Mimicking Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Late recurrence (after more than 10 years) of choroidal melanoma, though infrequent, has been documented well in Western countries. In India, however, this disease being uncommon, there is no data regarding its late recurrence. Here, we report a case of late metastatic manifestation of choroidal melanoma in the form of liver metastases in a 45-year-old man who presented with abdominal pain; metastases to liver occurred 10 years after enucleation of the right eye.
