To describe the correlation between standardized A-scan echography and histopathology in a ciliary body melanocytoma.
We present a case of a large ciliary body melanocytoma with significant growth, vision loss, and elevated intraocular pressure that was diagnosed clinically as a melanoma, but the standardized A-scan findings correlated to the histopathological description of a melanocytoma with multiple pseudocysts.
The reflectivity of this melanocytoma by standardized A-scan was consistent with multiple pseudocysts on pathological evaluation. This echographic pattern guided the differential diagnosis. Standardized A-scan is an important diagnostic tool in the differentiation of ciliary body melanocytomas from melanomas.
描述眼前节巩膜黑色素细胞瘤的超声 A 扫描表现与组织病理学之间的相关性。
我们报告了一例大型眼前节巩膜黑色素细胞瘤,该肿瘤生长迅速,视力丧失,眼内压升高,临床上被诊断为黑色素瘤,但超声 A 扫描的标准化表现与组织病理学描述的多个假囊肿的黑色素细胞瘤相关。
该黑色素细胞瘤的超声 A 扫描反射性与病理评估中的多个假囊肿一致。这种超声表现有助于鉴别诊断。标准化 A 扫描是鉴别眼前节巩膜黑色素细胞瘤和黑色素瘤的重要诊断工具。
