Abstract
Malignant melanoma is a rare tumor of the eye occuring anywhere on the uvea. Due to its fatal prognosis when it metastasizes to the liver, early diagnosis and treatment are needed.Glaucoma is frequently noted when the tumor is located on the ciliary body. A 73-year-old man who had com-plained of foreign body sensation for 4 months showed increased intraocular pressure, moderate anterior chamber reaction, and rubeosis iridis accompanied by a white exudative mass. The result of localized tumor excision and anterior chamber aspiration proved to be a malignant tumor. Therefore, enucleation was done and pathological examination showed ciliary malignant melanoma with seeding on the iris and anterior chamber angle structures.
Key Words: Malignant melanoma;Neovascular glaucoma;Intraocular pressure
