Malignant melanoma of the lacrimal sac is an exceptionally rare tumor with a poor prognosis. We report two cases of malignant melanoma of the lacrimal sac: a 73 year-old female treated with primary surgical resection and a 75 year-old male treated with surgical resection, adjuvant proton beam radiotherapy, and adjuvant immunotherapy. We discuss the role of post-operative proton beam therapy and recent advancements in immunotherapy. These cases highlight the importance of early diagnosis and multi-modality treatment in this aggressive malignancy.
泪囊恶性黑色素瘤是一种极为罕见且预后较差的肿瘤。我们报告两例泪囊恶性黑色素瘤病例:一例是接受了初次手术切除的73岁女性,另一例是接受了手术切除、辅助质子束放疗及辅助免疫治疗的75岁男性。我们讨论了术后质子束治疗的作用以及免疫治疗的最新进展。这些病例凸显了早期诊断和多模式治疗在这种侵袭性恶性肿瘤中的重要性。
