A case report details a 58-year-old man with a diffuse ocular melanoma, a rare eye cancer. Early metastasis is common, making enucleation the recommended treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Diffuse uveal melanoma is a rare and aggressive intraocular malignancy.
  • Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing this condition.

Observation:

  • A 58-year-old male presented with ocular pain and vision loss in his left eye.
  • Examination revealed a pigmented mass in the iridocorneal angle and ciliary body, with secondary glaucoma.
  • Ophthalmoscopy identified a large pigmented choroidal tumor.

Findings:

  • Pathologic examination post-enucleation confirmed diffuse ocular melanoma.
  • The tumor involved multiple ocular structures, including the choroid.

Implications:

  • Diffuse uveal melanoma has a high propensity for early metastasis.

  • Enucleation remains the primary treatment modality for this condition.
  • Further research into systemic therapies may be warranted for metastatic disease.
