چکیده
performed. Previous cases of vitelliform retinopathy have had some clinical findings consistent with MAR, while others have not. None of these reports had clinical evidence of choroidal involvement. The vitelliform lesions have been postulated to represent a new paraneoplastic clinical manifestation. The pathologic results in this case argue against a paraneoplastic entity but may suggest a local metastatic cause with subclinical choroidal involvement. Another explanation is that choroidal involvement occurred after the vitelliform lesions with the dissemination of the metastatic melanoma. Further studies are needed to determine the etiology of these vitelliform lesions in metastatic melanoma.

متن کاملCutaneous vitiligo following management of uveal melanoma in 6 patients.
IMPORTANCE The relationship of vitiligo to cutaneous melanoma is believed to be due to an immune response generated to melanoma antigens that cross-react with normal skin.

متن کاملMetastasis of Ciliary Body Melanoma to the Contralateral Eye: A Case Report and Review of Uveal Melanoma Literature
Many types of cancers metastasize to the eye. However, uveal melanoma metastasizing to the contralateral choroid is very rare. We report the case of a 68-year-old man with history of treated uveal melanoma of the right eye that developed metastasis to the liver and the choroid of the left eye. Ten years earlier, he was diagnosed to have uveal melanoma of the right eye and was initially treated ...
