We describe a 85 year old, male patient who attended our OPD with profused swelling of the left eye associated with loss of vision for the past 4 months. He gave no history of trauma, no history of fever and swelling is not associated with pain. The mass was profusedly large measuring 40 cm × 30 cm (approx),there was multiple, non-tender, firm, irregular cauliflower like growth which bleeds on touch filled the whole globe. Anterior and posterior segment cannot be visualized. The patient came at the last stage,so we could not perform Ultrasonography and ophthalmoscopic examinations. Histopathological examination and CT scan of the orbit was done and we diagnosed it as a case of uveal melanoma of the left eye. 200 centigray/day × 20 fractions of external beam radiotherapy was given for 20 days, the tumour size markedly decreased after treatment. The case was studied in detail as the condition is rarely seen in the north eastern part of India.
