  • Description: <jats:p>&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Aims:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; The aim of this study was to correlate the ophthalmoscopic and histopathological findings of orange pigment overlying a choroidal metastasis. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Methods:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; This is a single case report with clinical follow-up and histopathological examination. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Histopathology revealed a choroidal metastasis with subretinal CD68-positive macrophages showing autofluorescent deposits in fluorescence microscopy. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; The development of orange pigment is not pathognomonic for choroidal melanoma but may be seen in other lesions such as carcinoma metastasis.</jats:p>
