A 52 year old woman of Asian origin presented with a highly elevated pigmented mushroom-shaped fundus mass lesion which on transillumination showed a definite shadow. P32-examination gave borderline results. In the contralateral eye a slightly elevated smaller mass lesion showed positive results on P32-examination. Clinical, P32, echographic and histopathological features will be described.
