Herein we describe a case of intraocular melanoma in a17-year old leukemic patient.  The history, histological findings of the enucleated eye, blood and bone marrow of the patient were investigated. The enucleated eye contained epitheloid cell type melanoma instead of leukemic cell infiltration.  We conclude that intraocular malignant melanoma can occur in acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Uveal melanoma is the most common intraocular malignancy in adults and results in the death of 50% of the patients. Plasminogen activators (PA) are believed to facilitate tumor metastasis by promoting invasion of tissue barriers. The present study explored the possibility of preventing the metastasis of intraocular melanomas by disrupting plasminogen activator function through gene transfer. A ...

OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to compare the relative, clinical intraocular dose distribution for palladium-103 (103Pd) versus iodine-125 (125I) ophthalmic plaque radiation therapy. METHODS Preoperative comparative radiation dosimetry was performed to evaluate 319 consecutive uveal melanomas treated between 2006 and 2012. RESULTS There were 68 (21.3 %) anterior (iris and/or ciliary bod...

Iodine-based liquid radiographic contrast agents were placed in normal and tumor-bearing (Greene strain) rabbit eyes to evaluate their ability to block iodine-125 radiation. This experiment required the procedures of tumor implantation, vitrectomy, air-fluid exchange, and 125I plaque and thermoluminescent dosimetry (TLD) chip implantation. The authors quantified the amount of radiation attenuat...

PURPOSE To evaluate the long-term visual outcomes and complications of cataract surgery in eyes previously treated for retinoblastoma. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation at Seoul National University Children's Hospital for a secondary cataract that developed after retinoblastoma treatment. RESULTS During th...

PURPOSE To evaluate and compare the attitudes of ophthalmologists and gynecologists in suggesting appropriate approach to pregnancy in different ocular conditions. METHODS Specialty-specific questionnaires on delivery mode and abortion indications for ophthalmic patients (refractive, vascular, oncologic, retinal, glaucoma, postoperation, posttrauma, and infectious) were designed and distribut...

Uveal melanoma represents the most prevalent form of primary malignant intraocular tumor in adults. Historically, enucleation was considered gold-standard approach treatment uveal melanoma. Currently, radiotherapy is commonly used therapy, aiming at a better quality life. However, can result several ocular complications, some which may be vision-threatening. Radiation-induced dry eye, scleral n...

Although the anterior chamber of the eye expresses immune privilege, some ocular tumors succumb to immune rejection. Previous studies demonstrated that adenovirus-induced tumors, adenovirus type 5 early region 1 (Ad5E1), underwent immune rejection following transplantation into the anterior chamber of syngeneic mice. Intraocular tumor rejection required CD4(+) T cells, but did not require the f...

purpose : to report clinical and pathological features of three cases of opacification with hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lenses (iols) case reports : in this interventional case report, we introduce the surgical and laboratory information about three hydrophilic acrylic iols which calcified after implantation for these patients with cataract. these lenses were explanted and analyzed with opt...
