  Fig. 1 Fundus photography of the 50-year-old patient with reactive lymphoid hyperplasia of the uvea in the right eye (A). Fluorescence angiography showed stippled hyperfluorescence (B) with late phase staining (C). On indocyanine green angiography, retinochoroidal folds radiating from the optic nerve head were seen as hypofluorescence lines throughout examination (D,E). Spectral domain optical coherence tomography showed subretinal fluid at fovea, with undulating retina due to choroidal mass both horizontally (F) and vertically (G). Ultrasound sonography showed homogenous intraocular elevation which was acoustically empty (H), and lesion size was base 11.93 mm with height 2.71 mm. On magnetic resonance imaging of brain and orbit, the subretinal mass showed hyperintensity in T1 (I), and hypointesnity on T2 images (J). After systemic treatment with steroid for 2 weeks, choroidal elevation was improved (K). On ultrasonography, size of choroidal mass was measured as base 8.80 mm with height 1.87 mm (L).
