The aim of this study was to describe the side effects of I-125 brachytherapy in the treatment of uveal melanoma.
This study was conducted as a case report.
We report a case of scleral necrosis and protruding episcleral mass following the treatment of uveal melanoma with I-125 brachytherapy.
Scleral necrosis after plaque radiotherapy can clinically simulate tumor recurrence with extraocular extension. The management of uveal melanoma requires a careful clinical follow-up, weighing the implications of treatment morbidity and mortality.
本研究旨在描述碘-125近距离放射治疗葡萄膜黑色素瘤的副作用。
本研究以病例报告形式开展。
我们报告了1例在用碘-125近距离放射治疗葡萄膜黑色素瘤后出现巩膜坏死和巩膜外肿块突出的病例。
敷贴放疗后发生的巩膜坏死在临床上可能类似于伴有眼外扩展的肿瘤复发。葡萄膜黑色素瘤的治疗需要仔细的临床随访,权衡治疗的发病率和死亡率影响。
