title: Traumatic lens subluxation presenting as pseudomelanoma.
abstract: An 82-year-old white man was referred for a suspected inferior pigmented, choroidal melanoma in his left eye. The patient stated that his left eye had been hit by a tree branch approximately 40 years prior, and he had not been able to see with it since then. Dilated fundus examination revealed a 14 × 8 mm dark, dome-shaped choroidal mass located inferiorly. Transillumination of the eye revealed no defects. Ultrasonography revealed a hollow lesion, consistent with a senile, dark dislocated cataract.
