Fig. 7

A 77-year-old man with a pigmented choroidal melanoma and hemorrhagic retinal detachment of the right eye. Axial (a) T2-weighted turbo spin-echo STIR and (b)( fat-suppressed T1-weighted images demonstrate an intraocular mushroom-shaped lesion along the postero-medial aspect of globe (white arrows). The mass exhibits the typical low signal intensity (lower signal intensity than vitreous body) on T2-weighted image and high signal intensity (higher signal intensity than vitreous body) on T1-weighted image. Along the postero-lateral aspect of globe, the hemorrhagic retinal detachment is better depicted on fat-suppressed T1-weighted image in which it displays high signal intensity due to subacute blood products (white arrowhead in b). (c) Histological examination: low magnification confirming the radiological finding of an intensely pigmented mass protruding from the postero-medial ocular wall (H&E, original magnification ×25). (d) The postero-lateral retinal detachment is also well documented at histological level (H&E, original magnification ×50)
