Symptomatic dissemination of cutaneous malignant melanoma to the choroid occurs rarely and is a grave prognostic factor. Therefore, choroidal tumors are treated only as a palliative measure. We present a case of cutaneous malignant melanoma with symptomatic metastasis in the choroid OD of a 38-year-old woman. We treated it using brachytherapy with a ruthenium-106 plaque. The tumor totally regressed with restoration of good vision. Twelve months of follow-up showed no systemic spread.
皮肤恶性黑色素瘤向脉络膜的症状性播散很少见,且是一个严重的预后因素。因此,脉络膜肿瘤仅作为一种姑息性措施进行治疗。我们报告一例38岁女性,其皮肤恶性黑色素瘤出现脉络膜右眼症状性转移。我们使用钌 - 106敷贴器进行近距离放射治疗。肿瘤完全消退,视力恢复良好。十二个月的随访显示无全身扩散。
