Fulltext A lesion mistaken for malignant melanoma of the posterior uvea: a case report

Sukumaran K, Chandran S, Visvaraja S, Couper NT, Tan PE

Med J Malaysia, 1984 Dec;39(4):317-9.
PMID: 6544942

A case is presented to illustrate the difficulties
encountered in the clinical diagnosis of an intraocular mass. The fundus was not visible ophthalmoscopically because of opaque media. The anterior surface of the iris showed three discrete hyperpigmented nodular patches. Ultrasound showed an intraocular mass occupying half the posterior segment. The eye did not have useful vision and was enucleated after a clinical diagnosis of malignant melanoma of the choroid was made. The eye did not contain a melanoma but an organised blood clot after an extensive vitreous haemorrhage because of systemic hypertension.

Fulltext Hidden Choroidal Melanoma Presented with Bullous Non-rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment in a Myopic Asian Lady: A Rare Manifestation

Choroidal melanoma is an uncommon malignant melanoma among non-Caucasians. We report here a case of a high myope patient who presented with symptoms of acute retinal detachment, which had been diagnosed as possible rhegmatogenous retinal detachment from the initial assessment. A detailed vitreoretinal evaluation revealed a glimpse of an obscured intraocular mass underneath the detached retina, which later proved to be a choroidal melanoma. This is an unexpected cause of retinal detachment in a myopic eye. Furthermore, the rare nature of choroidal melanoma in this particular region of the world makes this an ignored diagnosis at presentation.

Anterior uveal and episcleral metastases from carcinoma of the breast

Reddy SC, Madhavan M, Mutum SS

Ophthalmologica, 2000 Sep-Oct;214(5):368-72.
PMID: 10965254 DOI: 10.1159/000027523

Breast carcinoma is the most common primary tumor producing intraocular metastasis. Metastases to the iris and ciliary body are relatively rare. The authors report a case of a 61-year-old lady, operated for carcinoma of the left breast 3 years back, who presented with symptoms and signs of acute narrow-angle glaucoma in the right eye. A diffuse whitish plaque-like mass in the upper nasal quadrant of the iris with an episcleral nodule on the limbus in the corresponding area and all the signs of acute narrow-angle glaucoma were present in the right eye. Intraocular pressure was controlled medically. Fine-needle aspiration cytology from the episcleral nodule showed malignant cells. Histopathology of the excised nodule showed metastatic poorly differentiated carcinoma, and the cellular pattern was similar to the carcinoma of the breast. There was no other metastasis anywhere in the body. Fine-needle aspiration cytology from an external lesion of the eye is a less invasive and easier procedure than paracentesis to diagnose the metastatic nature of the lesions. The rare features in our case are the clinical presentation as acute glaucoma and the ocular structures being the first and only site of metastasis.

Fulltext Surgical Treatment and Proposed Modified Classification for Harrington Class III Periacetabular Metastases

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to: (i) evaluate the outcome of patients with Harrington class III lesions who were treated according to Harrington classification; (ii) propose a modified surgical classification for Harrington class III lesions; and (iii) assess the efficiency of the proposed modified classification.
METHODS: This study composes two phases. During phase 1 (2006 to 2011), the clinical data of 16 patients with Harrington class III lesions who were treated by intralesional excision followed by reconstruction of antegrade/retrograde Steinmann pins/screws with cemented total hip arthroplasty (Harrington/modified Harrington procedure) were retrospectively reviewed and further analyzed synthetically to design a modified surgical classification system. In phase 2 (2013 to 2019), 62 patients with Harrington class III lesions were classified and surgically treated according to our modified classification. Functional outcome was assessed using the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) 93 scoring system. The outcome of local control was described using 2-year recurrence-free survival (RFS). Owing to the limited sample size, we considered P
