In this report we present the clinical case of a Harlequin Great Dane male canine, which presented the opaque and very red right eye. In the ophthalmological examination he presented an acute picture of uveitis, followed by glaucoma and visual deficit, and does not report physical trauma or a blunt force at eye level. The definitive diagnosis was uveal melanoma, confirmed by ultrasound, cytology and histopathology.

Keywords : canine; glaucoma; uveal melanoma; uveitis.
