Malignant Melanoma, Metastasis to the Disc (#1) (secondary neoplasm)
The optic disc is enlarged and pale. Several ill-defined grayish nodules or cysts are evident within the substance of the disc. A number of vitreous spherules can be appreciated, some of which appear to emanate from the region of the disc in a “string-of-pearls” configuration. The patient was a 36-year-old man with a history of cutaneous melanoma and pulmonary metastases.
