Multicentric melanomas in the same eye are rare, with few cases substantiated by histology and serial sectioning. We report a patient with two documented choroidal malignant melanomas in one eye. The initial tumor spontaneously decreased in size for over 2 years before a second tumor appeared in a noncontiguous location in the same eye. After enucleation, serial sections showed that the two lesions were independent choroidal melanomas. We review the literature regarding multiple, independent intraocular choroidal malignant melanomas.
