Focal fluorescence of choroidal melanoma.

Fulminant hepatic failure due to metastatic choroidal melanoma

Patterns of indocyanine green videoangiography of choroidal tumours.

BACKGROUND Indocyanine green video-angiography is a recently popularised technique for imaging the retina and choroid. Little is known about the value of this technique in the evaluation of choroidal tumours. METHODS Indocyanine green video-angiograms of 51 patients with choroidal tumours, including 32 with choroidal melanoma, five with choroidal naevus, four with choroidal metastasis, four w...

Choroidal melanomata. Fluorescence angiographic and histopathological study.

This clinico-pathological study has been carried out on benign and malignant choroidal melanomata with the following objects in view: (I) To find out the fluorescent pattern on fluorescence angiography which would distinguish a pigmented choroidal malignant melanoma from other lesions of similar appearance in the fundus of the eye, e.g. pigmented benign choroidal melanoma or nonneoplastic pigme...

The Development of Orange Pigment Overlying Choroidal Metastasis.

AIMS The aim of this study was to correlate the ophthalmoscopic and histopathological findings of orange pigment overlying a choroidal metastasis. METHODS This is a single case report with clinical follow-up and histopathological examination. RESULTS Histopathology revealed a choroidal metastasis with subretinal CD68-positive macrophages showing autofluorescent deposits in fluorescence micr...

Magnetic resonance screening trial for hepatic metastasis in patients with locally controlled choroidal melanoma.

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to evaluate the value of magnetic resonance (MR) screening for detection of hepatic metastasis in patients with locally controlled choroidal melanoma. METHODS MR examinations were performed after an initial diagnosis of choroidal melanoma in 159 patients (mean age 56 years: range, 10-86 years). The MR follow-up interval was 5.2 +/- 1.7 years (range, ...
