ABSTRACT
The case of a 40-year-old female patient with choroidal melanoma with secondary glaucoma presenting as a painful blind right eye is reported. Liver metastasis was detected by ultrasonography. The choroidal tumor measured 2 x 2.1 x 1.5 cm; histopathology showed that it was of the spindle cell (spindle A) variety. Such tumors are rare in non-white races and secondary glaucoma is an uncommon presentation.
