Abstract
A case is reported of a 30-year-old man who presented with the unusual comb ination of a unilateral inferonasal choroidal melanoma and an unassociated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment attributable to a large horseshoe tear in the superotemporal quadrant Over 20 cases of simultaneous occurrence of th ese two phenomena have now been reported but this patient appears to be the youngest The reports of this uncommon association are reviewed.
