Choroidal Melanoma Metastatic to the Contralateral Medial Rectus After Orbital Exenteration
Journal Title: TÜRK OFTALMOLOJİ DERGİSİ - Year 2019, Vol 49, Issue 5
Abstract
A 78-year-old Caucasian woman presented with pain in her right and only eye that was worse on abduction. Her history was significant for a choroidal melanoma affecting her left eye for which she underwent an orbital exenteration 12 years previously. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the right orbit identified a mass lesion affecting the medial rectus, suspicious for metastatic melanoma. A histopathological diagnosis of metastatic melanoma was subsequently made following biopsy of the right medial rectus.
