Abstract

We report a ciliary body melanoma that apparently arose from a melanocytoma in a 15-year-old black teenager. The eye was enucleated, and metastatic evaluation remained negative at 5 years' follow-up. This unusual case, confirmed histopathologically, reveals that young patients with melanocytoma can have malignant transformation at an early age.

摘要

我们报告了一例睫状体黑色素瘤，该肿瘤显然起源于一名15岁黑人青少年的黑痣细胞瘤。眼球已被摘除，在5年的随访中转移评估结果仍为阴性。这一经组织病理学证实的罕见病例表明，患有黑痣细胞瘤的年轻患者可能在早年发生恶性转化。
