title: Diffuse malignant change in a ciliochoroidal melanocytoma in a patient of mixed racial background.
abstract: A 69-year-old man of mixed racial background was discovered to have a large, deeply pigmented mass in his left eye with a history of rapid growth during the previous 6 months. The eye was enucleated, and histopathological examination revealed an epithelioid malignant melanoma arising from a melanocytoma.
