“…The diagnosis of uveal melanoma is mainly clinical; thus, a high level of clinical suspicion is needed. Table 1 summarizes the published reports on uveal melanoma diagnosed in patients in their 20s [7][8][9][10][11], including our patient.…”

A Choroidal Melanoma With Ciliary Body Involvement in a Young Female

Choroidal melanoma with ciliary body involvement is rare, especially in young adults and Asians. Here, we report the case of a young, healthy Chinese woman who complained of decreased vision in the left eye for one week. Her ocular examination and imaging were suggestive of choroidal melanoma involving the ciliary body. The patient underwent enucleation of the left eye. Close monitoring was needed, as the involvement of the ciliary body in choroidal melanoma is associated with a high risk of metastasis.

“…Liver is the organ which choroidal melanomas metastasis most often and has a poor prognosis (2,3). Choroidal melanoma have a better prognosis than melanoma with skin origin, although more often tend to metastasis ( 6,7). Defined risk factors for choroidal melanoma are determined as female gender, white skin, age and having a bright-colored iris (7).…”

Although 50% of choroidal melanoma cases are asymptomatic, loss of vision, scotoma, and photopsia may be present in the form as well (3).…”

Tanıdan 15 ay sonra karaciğer metastazı saptanan koroidal malign melanoma Koroidal melanom en sık görülen primer intraokuler malign tümördür ve insidansı yılda yaklaşık 4000 vakadır. Malign melanom tüm kanserlerin %1.5'ini oluşturur. En sık metastaz yaptığı organ karaciğerdir. Bu yazıda koroidal melanom tanısından 15 ay sonra, sarılık, halsizlik, yorgunluk, karın ağrısı, abdominal distansiyon, bulantı ve kusma nedeniyle yapılan tetkiklerinde karaciğer malign melanom metastazı saptanan olgu sunulmaktadır.

Intracranial meningiomas are tumors arising from the covering cells of the arachnoid layer of the dura mater or from the intraventricular choroid plexus. While mostly benign tumors, they still represent a major challenge to neurosurgeons and other medical disciplines involved in their diagnostic and therapeutic management. Although this review intends to give some state-of-the-art information from the literature, it is mainly based on personal experiences since more than 30 years caring for more than 1500 meningioma patients and point to a few new strategies to further improve on patient outcome.Diagnostics are based on magnetic resonance imaging which shows the relationship between tumor and surrounding intracranial structures, particularly the brain but also the vasculature and to some extent the cranial nerves. Furthermore, it may suggest the grading of the tumor and is very helpful in the postoperative diagnosis of complications and later follow-up course.Surgery still is the main treatment with the aim to completely remove the tumor; also in cases of recurrence, other additional options include radiotherapy and radiosurgery for incompletely removed or recurrent meningiomas. Postoperative chemotherapy has not been shown to provide substantial benefit to the patient especially in highly malignant meningiomas.All therapy options should be intended to provide the patient with the best possible functional outcome. Patients' perspective is not always equivalent to surgeons' perspectives. Neuropsychological evaluation and additional guidance of patients harboring meningiomas have proven to be important in modern neurosurgical intracranial tumor treatment. Their help beyond neurosurgical care facilitates the patients to lead an independent postoperative life.
