A 55-year-old woman with a choroidal melanoma of the right eye infiltrating the optic disc. Axial (a) T2-weighted turbo spin-echo STIR and (b) contrast-enhanced fat-suppressed T1-weighted images demonstrate an intraocular lesion along the posterior aspect of globe (white arrows), infiltrating the optic disc (white arrowheads). c On low magnification, histological examination shows a strong overlap with MR imaging: a poorly pigmented mass located in the posterior segment of the eye, at the level of the optic disc (H&E, original magnification 25×). d Higher magnification confirms the MR findings, demonstrating an early infiltration of the emergence of the optic nerve by the melanoma (H&E, original magnification 50×)
