Choroidal melanoma has a very rare incidence in Africa and Asia, especially in the Middle East. We report the first case of choroidal melanoma in Lebanon in a 33-year-old man presenting with progressive loss of vision in his right eye. MRI showed retinal detachment with evidence of a nodular-like lesion most consistent with choroidal melanoma. The patient underwent enucleation of the right eye globe and the diagnosis was confirmed on pathology.
脉络膜黑色素瘤在非洲和亚洲,尤其是中东地区的发病率极低。我们报告了黎巴嫩首例脉络膜黑色素瘤病例,患者为一名33岁男性,右眼视力逐渐丧失。磁共振成像(MRI)显示视网膜脱离,并有一个最符合脉络膜黑色素瘤的结节样病变迹象。该患者接受了右眼眼球摘除术,病理检查确诊了诊断结果。
