Corneally displaced conjunctival Melanoma: Rare presentations of recurrent melanoma
Purpose
To describe long term follow-up of two cases of corneally displaced conjunctival melanoma with multiple recurrences.
Observations
Case 1 is a 49-year-old male with recurrent conjunctival melanoma and primary acquired melanosis treated over 13 years, who eventually presented with an elevated amelanotic corneal mass. Case 2 is a 61-year-old female with a similar history of recurrent conjunctival melanoma and primary acquired melanosis treated over 21 years, who presented with a subepithelial corneal opacity. Both patients were treated with a combination of topical chemotherapy, wide excision, map biopsy, cryotherapy, and local and systemic workup showing no evidence of metastasis.
Conclusions and importance
Conjunctival melanoma has a high risk of recurrence and can present as amelanotic corneally displaced conjunctival melanoma, warranting thorough workup to detect potential subclinical spread of the disease.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Ophthalmology Case Reports is a peer-reviewed, scientific publication that welcomes the submission of original, previously unpublished case report manuscripts directed to ophthalmologists and visual science specialists. The cases shall be challenging and stimulating but shall also be presented in an educational format to engage the readers as if they are working alongside with the caring clinician scientists to manage the patients. Submissions shall be clear, concise, and well-documented reports. Brief reports and case series submissions on specific themes are also very welcome.
