We present the case of a 42-year-old female who presented to our clinic for phosphenes in the left eye, occurring along with eye movement. A diagnosis of choroidal melanoma suspect was made. Due to the patient's profile, young, active woman, surgeon, and the limited therapeutic options in Romania, a conservative treatment and brachytherapy were chosen, which were successfully performed abroad. The patient has been followed-up, so far, for five years after the procedure, with spectacular results.

Objective: Pigmentary posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), referred to as "black PVD," is a rare entity describing PVD along with pigment dispersion in the vitreous.

Background: Cutaneous melanoma is the leading cause of death from cutaneous malignancy and tends to metastasize lymphatically and hematogenously to the lung, liver, brain, and bone; it is a rare source of metastatic disease to the eye. Herein we provide a case report of cutaneous melanoma metastatic to the ciliary body and choroid involving clinical examination, slit lamp photography, and B-scan ultrasonography.
Result: A 55-year-old female with known metastatic cutaneous melanoma presented with pain, a large ciliochoroidal mass, visual decline, and diffuse intraocular inflammation.
