“…Depending on the location and the size of the tumor, reported cases were treated by bilateral beta irradiation (Lommatzch et al 1981), enucleation and plaque brachytherapy (Ascaso et al 1996), enucleation and local resection (Omulecki et al 1994;Migdal & Macfarlane 1984), or bilateral enucleation (Oosterhuis et al 1982;Seregard et al 1988). A patient developed uveal melanoma 3.5 years after enucleation of the fellow eye for the same tumor and was managed by external beam radiotherapy (Eide 1989).…”

ABSTRACT.Purpose: A case of a woman who had bilateral choroidal melanoma diagnosed sequentially 20 months apart and managed conservatively is described. Methods: The first eye having a juxtapapillary melanoma was treated with a notched episcleral radioactive plaque. The second eye, initially containing a small nevus with unequivocal rapid growth, was managed with diode laser transpupillary thermotherapy. Results: Both tumors regressed considerably following treatment and the patient retained good visual acuity in both eyes. No other malignancies or metastasis were detected during the follow-up period. Conclusions: A small choroidal nevus rapidly grew after treating a choroidal melanoma in the fellow eye. Close follow-up of such patients is mandatory. Also, conservative treatment should be opted whenever possible given the unpredictable course of the opposite melanocytic lesion.

“…When intensive case finding was employed, 10-7% of 666 melanoma patients had a positive family history. 8 Reports of the familial occurrence of intraocular melanomas, on the other hand, have been very rare, but perhaps they have not yet received proper attention. Only 11 families have been reported with this most frequently occurring intraocular tumour developing in 2 family members.…”

SUMMARYThe medical history of a patient with a familial atypical multiple mole melanoma syndrome revealed a combination of rare findings: occurrence of a melanoma in both eyes, development of 3 separate skin melanomas, and occurrence of other malignancies in the family. Another patient developed a choroidal and a skin melanoma, but there were no known malignancies in the family. A third patient with a choroidal melanoma had a mother with an ethmoidal melanoma.
