Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical findings, histopathologic features and the precise anatomic origin of primary ocular MALIGNANT MELANOMA.Design: Retrospective, noncomparative case series.Participants: The participants included 95 consecutive patients with microscopically confirmed ocular MALIGNANT MELANOMA managed at Farabi Eye Hospital between 1988 and 1998.Main Outcome Measures: Patient features at initial examination such as age and gender, the presenting symptoms and signs, tumor cell types based on the modified Calendar classification for uveal melanomas and anatomic origin of the primary ocular MALIGNANT MELANOMA.Patients & Methods: The clinical records of all patients with pathologically proven ocular malinant melanoma were reviewed and the relevant clinical data were gathered regarding features of the patient, clinical manifestations and anatomic origin of the primary tumor, as well as cell type.Results: Over the 10-year period of this study, there were 95 patients with microscopically confirmed ocular melanoma at the pathology department of Farabi Eye Hospital. Mean age at initial diagnosis was 49 years (range, 6-83 years). There were 58 (61.1%) men and 37 (38.9%) women. The most common histologic type in uveal melanoma was mixed cell type and painless visual loss was the most frequent presenting complaint.Conclusions: Many melanoma patients have asymptomatic tumors discovered on routine ophthalmic examination. This fact emphasizes the importance of routine, periodic, dilated ocular examinations.
