title: False positive magnetic resonance imaging of a choroidal nevus simulating choroidal melanoma.
abstract: A 68-year-old white male had a pigmented choroidal tumor associated with progressive loss of vision. Clinical studies with fluorescein angiography and magnetic resonance imaging suggested a diagnosis of choroidal melanoma. Specimens obtained by internal eye wall resection revealed a choroidal nevus.
