American Journal of Ophthalmology
|September 1, 1979
Summary
This study reviewed 29 cases of uveal melanoma that metastasized before treatment. Findings suggest these aggressive tumors often present in older patients with large, long-standing symptoms and extraocular extension.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Pathology
- Oncology
Background:
- Uveal melanoma is a rare intraocular malignancy.
- Metastasis before diagnosis is infrequently observed.
- Understanding pre-enucleation metastasis is crucial for treatment evaluation.
