This study analyzed 46 choroidal mass cases, finding malignant metastases, hemangiomas, and melanomas were most common. Understanding these diverse tumors aids early diagnosis and treatment for better patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Oncology
Medical Imaging

Background:

Choroidal masses exhibit diverse clinical features and incidence.
Accurate diagnosis and management are crucial for minimizing ocular morbidity.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the epidemiological and clinicopathological characteristics of various choroidal tumors.
To establish appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for choroidal masses.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of medical records from 1986-1999.
Confirmed diagnoses by at least two experienced ophthalmologists.
Utilized ophthalmic examination, medical history, indirect ophthalmoscopy, ultrasonography, fluorescein angiography, CT, and MRI.

Main Results:

149 patients initially enrolled; 46 (51 eyes) included in final analysis.
Tumor types: malignant metastases (26%), hemangiomas (22%), melanomas (17%), other melanocytic lesions (20%), melanocytomas (11%), osteomas (4%).
Average follow-up: 20.5 months; average patient age: 42.8 years.

Conclusions:

Clinical experience and understanding of choroidal masses are key.
Proposing early differential diagnosis and therapeutic approaches for effective management.
Aims to minimize ocular morbidity and improve patient survival and quality of life.
