[An error in the fluorescence angiographic diagnosis of a subretinal process (author's transl)].
A presentation is given of a malignant melanoma of the choroid of a 15-year-old girl. The tumor was erroneously considered as to be a subretinal hemorrhage produced by a choroidal rupture after an accident. A beginning melanosis bulbi resulted in the enucleation and the histological examination of the eye, which confirmed malignant melanoma of the choroid.
