    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Choroidal melanoma is a rare malignancy of the eye.
    • Bilateral involvement is exceptionally uncommon.

    Observation:

    • A 51-year-old white male presented with bilateral primary choroidal melanoma.
    • One eye underwent enucleation, while the other had a local tumor excision.
    • Systemic evaluation ruled out other primary or secondary melanomas.

    Findings:

    • This represents the first reported case of bilateral primary choroidal melanoma in the United Kingdom.
    • It is also the first case with histological confirmation from a locally excised tumor in one eye.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of thorough investigation in suspected bilateral ocular tumors.

  • Local excision followed by histological confirmation is a viable diagnostic approach for choroidal melanoma.
  • Further research into the etiology and management of bilateral choroidal melanoma is warranted.
