Melanoma em cavidade anoftálmica secundária a evisceração: relato de 2 casos e revisão da literatura

Abstract: Melanoma em cavidade anoftálmica secundária a evisceração -Relato de 2 casos e revisão da literatura Os autores relatam 2 casos de pacientes com melanoma em cavidade anoftálmica secundária a eviscerações ocorridas há 30 e 60 anos. Em ambos os casos a análise histopatológica mostrou que o tumor estava aderido a remanescentes esclerais. A implicação desses casos foi discutida no contexto das indicações de evisceração e enucleação. INTRODUÇÃOMelanomas são tumores malignos derivados de melanócitos da crista neura… Show more

“…It is likely that primary orbital melanomas originate from embryonic remains of neural crest cells, which can be found along the ciliary nerves, scleral emissary channels, and optic nerve leptomeninges ( 3 ) . There have also been reports of orbital melanoma developing from residual melanocytes in anophthalmic sockets, up to 63 years after evisceration ( 4 ) .…”
