Introduction

A non-pigmented choroidal tumor associated with calcifications evokes usually a differential diagnosis of a benign tumor such as choroidal osteoma or choroidal hemangioma with osseous metaplasia, idiopathic or metastatic sclerochoroidal calcifications, or a calcified scar resulting from a granulomatous or degenerative pathology (e.g. disciform AMD). We present the case of a non-pigmented calcified, choroidal tumor, where a biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of uveal melanoma.
