Skin Melanoma Metastases into Choroid
Here, we present three rare clinical cases of skin melanoma metastasis into choroid. There were examined three female patients aged 49, 53 and 67, respectively. Two patients were found to have monocular solitary choroidal metastasis 7 and 45 months after being diagnosed with skin melanoma on buttocks and foot, respectively. The third patient had no burdened oncologic anamnesis, who was found to have binocular multi-focal metastatic injury in the choroid. A thorough physical examination revealed skin melanoma in the buttocks with subcutaneous metastasis in the neck and chest. In all cases, metastases were confirmed by using clinical and instrumental examination methods including investigating anamnesis, standard ophthalmologic examination, ultrasound duplex scanning, fluorescent angiography and optical coherence tomography.
