Abstract:
We report a metastatic cutaneous melanoma of the medial rectus muscle of the right orbit which presented with diplopia, exophthalmos and retrobulbar pain. Radioimmunoscintigraphy using melanoma-specific monoclonal antibody was used to confirm the diagnosis and to show the presence of disseminated disease in other areas. Effective palliation was achieved with external beam irradiation.
