title: Neoplasia-like echographic evidence in retinopathies of several aetiologies: a case report.
abstract: In ocular retinal pathology, several aetiological entities showing various clinical and ophthalmoscopic pictures can simulate a tumour. The contribution of echography to the diagnostic research in ophthalmology is really important and the good knowledge of the difficulties and echographic limits is essential. We specifically report a tubercular granuloma clinically and echographically simulating a ciliary-body melanoma.
