Choroidal melanoma is the most common intraocular tumor among adults. Its global incidence is low, 6 cases per 1 million population, but it has a high degree of malignancy and propensity for metastasis. We report the case of a female patient aged 34 years with a history of having the right eye enucleated 14 years earlier due to a choroidal melanoma. She was treated at the Dr. Gustavo Aldereguía Lima University General Hospital in Cienfuegos for metastasis to the left axilla. The publication of this case was considered relevant to health professionals because of the rarity of this disease, and the long survival of the patient, without systemic treatment, after the enucleation of the affected eye.
