Abstract

The article presents a case study of a 68-year old woman who was brought to a hospital for choroidal pigmental tumour in the left eye. During eye examination, it was revealed that the tumour was asymptomatic, parapillary and is covered with drusen and with the absence of any orange pigment. The visual acuity of the patient was 0.7 in the right eye relative to hypermetropic amblyopia since her childhood.
