Cardiac and Brain Late Metastases of Choroidal Melanoma: Case of Young 35 Years Old Patient
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Cardiac metastases are much more common than primary cardiac malignant tumors as reported in the literature. Choroidal melanoma is a very aggressive type of tumor. "If you are newly diagnosed with a primary choroidal 'intraocular' melanoma, you are likely to have no signs or symptoms of metastatic melanoma. Even with total body PET/CT imaging, less than 4% of patients are found to have their melanomas spread to other parts of their body at the time of diagnosis of their eye tumor. Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults. It is associated with a high rate of distant tumor spread and consequent mortality.
