Core Tip Although early metastasis of choroidal melanoma is rare, increasing primary tumor size and stage and extraocular extension of choroidal melanoma elevate the risk of metastasis. At initial diagnosis of choroidal melanoma, systemic surveillance can allow early detection of metastatic disease. Even after complete surgical excision, patients should be educated about the importance of continued follow-up monitoring, including physical examination, liver function testing, liver ultrasonography, and positron emission tomography-computed tomography scan or magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen. Unfortunately, current treatment for metastatic disease is limited and the prognosis is usually poor.
