STRUCTURE OF INTRAOCULAR NEOPLASMS AND COMPLEX CLINICAL CASES OF UVEAL MELANOMA
Abstract
The aim of our work was to assess the incidence of intraocular neoplasms based on clinical and morphological studies, as well as to consider complex clinical cases of uveal melanoma of the choroid and ciliary body.
Material and methods. The analysis of the results of a clinical and histological examination of surgical biopsy material collected on the basis of the Russian Center for Eye and Plastic Surgery, Bashkir State Medical University in the period from 2019 to 2021 was carried out.
Results. 160 protocols of lifetime pathoanatomic examination of biopsy material with neoplasms of the eye and its appendages were studied. Intraocular tumors were observed in 29 patients, which is 18.1%. Of these, benign tumors accounted for 14%, retinoblastoma was diagnosed in 17% of cases, and pigmented melanoma of the choroid and ciliary body, which accounted for 69%, was also detected.
Conclusions. Based on the data obtained, we concluded that uveal melanoma accounts for 12% of the overall oncopathology structure, but among malignant intraocular neoplasms, it was present in 69% of cases. This article also discusses clinical cases of uveal melanoma of the choroid and ciliary body in order to increase cancer awareness in the practice of an ophthalmologist.
