Choroidal melanoma, although rare, is the most common primary intraocular malignancy among adults, with an incidence ranging from 6 to 7.5 cases per million per year globally. This tumor originates from the uveal tract's melanocytes in the eye. Melanomas usually arise from the sixth decade of age with increasing incidence with progressive age. A 60-year-old male presented with a right-sided sudden painless decrease in vision due to a grade 4 vitreous hemorrhage. B-scan ultrasonography and CT scan of the orbits revealed a mushroom-shaped choroidal mass highly suggestive of choroidal melanoma, which was managed surgically with pars plana endoresection, endodiathermy, and endolaser. Endoresection can be an effective method for the management of solitary non-metastasized choroidal tumors, especially those that have become symptomatic. Pre and post-surgical imaging are necessary, along with careful follow-up to detect any recurrence.
脉络膜黑色素瘤虽然罕见,但却是成年人中最常见的原发性眼内恶性肿瘤,全球发病率为每年每百万人口6至7.5例。这种肿瘤起源于眼部葡萄膜的黑素细胞。黑色素瘤通常在60岁左右开始出现,发病率随着年龄增长而增加。一名60岁男性因4级玻璃体积血出现右侧视力突然无痛性下降。眼眶B超和CT扫描显示一个蘑菇状脉络膜肿物,高度提示脉络膜黑色素瘤,通过玻璃体视网膜内界膜切除术、眼内透热疗法和眼内激光光凝术进行手术治疗。视网膜内界膜切除术对于孤立性未转移的脉络膜肿瘤,尤其是那些已经出现症状的肿瘤,可能是一种有效的治疗方法。术前和术后的影像学检查是必要的,同时需要仔细随访以检测任何复发情况。
