To report a large uveal melanoma with extra-scleral extension which underwent spontaneous infarction and its unique molecular signature profile.
An 81-year-old female presented with a blind, painful eye. Intraocular pressure was 48 mm Hg. There was a large subconjunctival melanotic mass overlying a choroidal melanoma with anterior extension involving the ciliary body and the iridocorneal angle and iris. Ultrasonography confirmed a dome-shaped anterior cilio-choroidal mass with extra-scleral extension. The patient underwent enucleation and pathologic evaluation confirmed cilio-choroidal melanoma. The posterior half of the tumor involving the ciliary body and the extra-scleral component were spontaneously infarcted and were composed of large melanophages. Next-generation sequencing demonstrated a splice site mutation in and whole-genome doubling in addition to a hotspot mutation, chromosome 3 loss and 8q gain.
This case of a large, auto-infarcted uveal melanoma demonstrates a mutation and whole-genome doubling.
报告一例伴有巩膜外扩展的大型葡萄膜黑色素瘤,其发生了自发性梗死及其独特的分子特征谱。
一名81岁女性因失明且疼痛的眼睛就诊。眼压为48毫米汞柱。结膜下有一个大的黑色素肿物,覆盖脉络膜黑色素瘤,向前延伸累及睫状体、虹膜角膜角和虹膜。超声检查证实为穹窿状前睫状体脉络膜肿物,伴有巩膜外扩展。患者接受了眼球摘除术,病理评估证实为睫状体脉络膜黑色素瘤。肿瘤累及睫状体的后半部分和巩膜外成分发生了自发性梗死,由大的噬黑素细胞组成。二代测序显示除了一个热点突变、3号染色体缺失和8q增益外,还有一个剪接位点突变和全基因组加倍。
