    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Oncology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Melanomas of the eye and adnexa pose a significant health threat.
    • These cancers can be as lethal as aggressive cutaneous melanomas.
    • Treatment interventions carry the risk of permanent visual impairment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To discuss the critical aspects of melanomas affecting the eye and adnexa.
    • To highlight the severity and treatment implications of ocular melanomas.
    • To provide a comprehensive overview encompassing eyelids, conjunctiva, ocular globe, and associated syndromes.

    Main Methods:

    • Review and synthesis of existing literature on ocular and adnexal melanomas.
    • Discussion structured anatomically from eyelids to ocular globe.

  • Inclusion of dysplastic nevus syndrome's ocular manifestations.

    • Main Results:

    • Ocular melanomas exhibit high mortality rates, with 15-year survival rates approaching 50%.
    • The potential for permanent sight impairment is a major consequence of treatment.
    • The discussion covers a spectrum of ocular surface and globe melanomas.

    Conclusions:

    • Early recognition and management of ocular melanomas are crucial due to their high mortality.
    • The risk of vision loss underscores the need for careful treatment strategies.
    • Understanding the full scope, including adnexal involvement and associated syndromes, is vital for patient outcomes.
