Purpose: Extraocular extension of uveal melanoma can be accompanied by proptosis and signs of orbital inflammation but this clinical presentation is an uncommon feature if the tumor is solely intraocular.
Methods: Case report.
Results: The authors describe a patient with a medium-sized necrotic uveal melanoma, without extraocular spread, presenting with the clinical picture of orbital cellulitis.
Conclusions: The ophthalmologist needs to be aware of this uncommon presentation of uveal melanoma, and not assume the presence of proptosis and orbital inflammation as signs of extraocular extension.
