“…Despite the relative paucity of reported cases of clinically detectable intraocular metastatic cutaneous melanoma, occult metastases may be relatively common in cases of widespread generalised metastatic disease. In a series of 15 autopsy cases of patients with disseminated cutaneous melanoma, Fishman et al 75 found evidence of microscopic deposits in five patients. The clinical appearances of intraocular metastases from cutaneous melanoma are very variable, and to a large extent, depend upon the precise location of the deposit.…”

“…Als Pri märtumor, der am häufigsten Tochterge schwülste im Auge produziert, führt das Mammakarzinom vor den Lungentumoren die Statistik an [Ferry und Font, 1974]. Nach Angaben von Fishman et al [1976] sowie Font et al [1967] [Ferry, 1967;Eichholtz, 1971;Radnöt, 1977]. Es gibt deshalb keine statistischen Angaben über deren Häufigkeit, sondern nur Einzel fallbeschreibungen [Naumann, 1980].…”

“…Das klinische und das histologische Bild des Primärtumors weist ansonsten alle Cha rakteristika eines «oberflächlich spreiten den Melanoms» auf [Strempel, 1978]. Be merkenswert und nicht geklärt scheint die Beobachtung, dass anscheinend alle bisher bekannt gewordenen Augenmetastasen von Hautmelanomen von einem primären soge nannten superficial spreading Melanoma ausgingen [Fishman et al, 1976] [Zimmermann und Zeidman, 1967;Ferry und Font, 1974], Warum bei einem solchen Mechanismus experi mentell praktisch keine Tumoremboli in der Bindehaut zu finden waren, ist genausowe nig zu erklären wie die seltene klinische Beobachtung von Metastasen in der Binde haut. Offensichtlich scheinen bestimmte lo kale, wohl immunologische Faktoren, die in bestimmten Regionen vorhanden sind, das Angehen von Metastasen zu begünstigen bzw.…”

“…10 In this case, the primary cutaneous melanoma was spindle cell type with a depth of 10 mm. The prognosis is poor 11,12 due to disseminated disease and the poor response to chemotherapeutic regimes. However, the behaviour of melanoma is unpredictable and at times quiescent, resulting in long survival after initial diagnosis and even first onset of metastatic disease as demonstrated in this report.…”
