In the left image, a collar-button shaped choroidal melanoma is seen at lower right. Note the wrinkles in the macular retina caused by tumor growth. At right, after palladium-103 plaque radiation therapy, the choroidal melanoma appears darker and smaller as evidenced by resolution of the macular retinal folds. These photographs of this rare ocular cancer are from the extensive collection of NYU ophthalmologist Paul T. Finger, MD. More ocular images can be seen on the Eye Cancer
