Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging in Nodal Staging and Surveillance of Ocular Melanoma: Case Reports and Review of the Literature

Ocular melanoma (OM) is a rare noncutaneous malignancy and consists of 2 different subtypes based on the anatomic location in eye: uveal conjunctival melanoma. Like cutaneous melanoma, OM benefits from nuclear medicine molecular imaging nodal staging clinical management. Through illustration distinctive cases, we aim to demonstrate complementary roles standard lymphoscintigraphy, advanced SPECT/CT, 18F-FDG PET/CT, PET/MRI accurate surveillance OM. We also review epidemiology, existing guidelines, management
