Cavernous haemangioma presenting as an orbital mass after enucleation for a choroidal melanoma: case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A patient presented with an ipsilateral orbital mass four years after enucleation for a choroidal malignant melanoma. Clinical examination revealed a darkly coloured mass suggestive of recurrent melanoma. CT scanning indicated a locally extensive tumour. Management was by excision without resort to orbital exenteration. Pathological examination revealed a cavernous haemangioma. The natural history of this tumour is discussed.

متن کاملENUCLEATION IN MALIGNANT CHOROIDAL MELANOMA - results in 15 years of using a new material in the prosthesis of the orbital cavity
RATIONALE Enucleation implants are covered with a material that allows the fixation of the extraocular rectus muscles. Usually, the implants are covered in donor sclera, which implies the risk of infection transmission, inflammation and implant rejection, being also an expensive procedure. The new materials used for implant meshing should be tested and a safer and cost effective solution should...
