AB  - This paper presents a very rare case of segmental sunset glow fundus following a 
      choroidal tumor-like lesion in a 59-year-old woman. She complained of 
      metamorphopsia in her left eye. Funduscopic examination disclosed a pale 
      yellowish choroidal tumefaction, superotemporal to the macula. She was initially 
      thought to have a choroidal tumor. However, in spite of systemic investigation, a 
      diagnosis could not be made. Gradually the lesion became flattened but spread to 
      the periphery. Iridocyclitis with Koeppe's nodule occurred but regressed after 
      treatment with a topical steroid. Three months after the initial onset of the 
      lesion, funduscopy showed a red area, the "sunset glow", in the superior temporal 
      quadrant. This case resembles Harada disease because of the red coloration in the 
      fundus, iridocyclitis with Koeppe's nodule, and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR4 
      positivity. But other findings were not compatible with the criteria of Harada 
      disease. It seems that the present lesion has not been reported in the past.
