Abstract

Introduction: Ocular melanoma is a type of malignancy affecting the eye. Symptoms can include dark spots near or around the iris or the mucous membrane of the eyes. Treatments include radiation, laser therapy, and enucleation or evisceration of the eye.

Method: A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the database Web of Science. VosViewer version 1.6.20 was utilized to import tab-delimited files and visualize the data from Web of Science.

Results: Data was collected from 1990 to 2024, with 2021 being the highest publication year (258). The U.S. (1,950), Germany (405), and England (205) released the greatest number of publications. From those countries, Thomas Jefferson University and Leiden University released the largest number of articles written about ocular melanoma.

Conclusion: Ocular melanoma is a rare type of cancer affecting people worldwide. As medicinal research advances over time, the ability to prevent and treat ocular melanoma steadily improves. Over the past years (1990-2024), there has been a general increase in the number of publications regarding ocular melanoma. There have been gaps in the research in South Asian and African demographics, showing that these communities have not brought enough attention to this disease.

可视化眼黑色素瘤研究景观：文献计量学分析。

眼部黑色素瘤是一种影响眼睛的恶性肿瘤。症状包括虹膜附近或周围的黑斑或眼睛粘膜。治疗方法包括放射、激光治疗、眼球摘除或内脏摘除。方法：采用Web of Science数据库进行文献计量学分析。使用VosViewer 1.6.20版本导入以制表符分隔的文件，并将Web of Science中的数据可视化。结果：数据收集时间为1990 - 2024年，其中发表最多的年份为2021年（258篇）。美国（1950件）、德国（405件）、英国（205件）是发表论文最多的国家。在这些国家中，托马斯·杰斐逊大学和莱顿大学发表的关于眼部黑色素瘤的文章数量最多。结论：眼黑色素瘤是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤。随着医学研究的不断进步，预防和治疗眼部黑色素瘤的能力稳步提高。在过去的几年中（1990-2024年），关于眼部黑色素瘤的出版物数量普遍增加。南亚和非洲人口统计方面的研究存在空白，表明这些社区对这种疾病没有给予足够的重视。
