Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Radiology
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Malignant melanoma incidence continues to increase in the UK.
  • Public health warnings regarding sun exposure risks have not curbed this rise.
  • Melanoma is an aggressive cancer with a propensity for widespread metastasis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diverse radiological imaging features of melanoma metastases.
  • To illustrate typical and non-specific presentations of metastatic melanoma.
  • To include examples of primary choroidal melanoma imaging.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of radiological imaging in melanoma.
  • Compilation of case examples demonstrating metastatic patterns.
  • Inclusion of imaging of primary ocular melanoma.

Main Results:

  • Melanoma metastases can manifest with varied and often non-specific radiological appearances.
  • Metastasis can occur in virtually any organ, even years post-resection.
  • Distinct imaging findings for primary choroidal melanoma are presented.

Conclusions:

  • Radiologists must be aware of the wide spectrum of imaging findings for melanoma metastases.
  • Early recognition of metastatic disease is crucial, despite varied presentations.
  • Comprehensive imaging review aids in diagnosing melanoma spread and primary ocular lesions.
