Abstract:
We report two cases of choroidal melanoma with massive orbital extension that were managed by modified enucleation by way of a lateral orbitotomy. In both cases, the orbital component of the tumor was removed intact along with the globe. This approach allows placement of an orbital implant and avoids the long healing process associated with orbital exenteration.
