Primary melanoma in the choroid is the most common intraocular neoplasia and non-cutaneous melanoma. We report the case of a 54-year-old patient with progressive loss vision in the right eye. The high suspicion of choroidal melanoma by ultrasound justified enucleation. Pathology evaluation confirmed the diagnosis. In addition, a systematic review of clinical cases reported in Latin America has been carried out, observing comparable characteristics in the form of presentation and treatment.

Keywords : Melanoma; Uveal; Choroid; Visual acuity; Latin America; Case report.
