PURPOSE To report a case of adult retinoblastoma with a wrong diagnosis of melanoma. CASE REPORT Herein, we present an adult retinoblastoma case who was misdiagnosed as melanoma in fine-needle aspiration biopsy with intravitreal hemorrhage and later neovascular glaucoma after biopsy. The diagnosis of retinoblastoma was confirmed after enucleation. CONCLUSION Retinoblastoma should be conside...

Melanoma is an increasingly common malignancy, and it affects a younger population than most cancers. Risk factors for melanoma include white race, sun sensitivity, family history of melanoma, and melanocytic nevi. Sunburn and intermittent sun exposure appear to increase the risk of developing melanoma. The role of population-based screening for skin cancer remains unclear. Consistent screening...

Primary malignant melanoma of the oral cavity is a rare malignancy with an incidence 0.2 to 8% all melanomas. Melanoma arises from transformation melanocyte and cutaneous melanomas are most common followed by ocular, mucosal unknown primary site. Here we present case 54 year old male who presented pigmented lesion on palate, type melanoma. Due rarity this disease, it infrequently studied. Hence...

With skin cancer incidence rate steadily increasing each year, melanoma continues to pose a significant public health problem globally. It is well-known that early detection and prevention of remains the most important intervention for reducing morbidity mortality, therefore it imperative promote innovation will advance our ability diagnose early. Because prognosis treatment are dependent on de...

Pigmented areas in the oral cavity are often considered physiological but a practicing dentist must be aware of pigmentation secondary to oral melanoma which is rare, but life threatening. Melanoma represents one of the most life threatening cancers known. The etiology of oral melanoma is still unknown. Lesions are irregular and asymmetric, and commonly involve palate, gingiva, tongue, buccal m...

Aims. Metastatic malignant melanoma of the urinary bladder is a rare clinical entity, with only twenty-three published cases to date. We present a case of this rare entity, a thorough review of the literature, and differential diagnosis of melanoma in the bladder. Methods and Results. A 55-year-old woman with a history of malignant melanoma of the right thigh, excised eight years ago, presented...

BACKGROUND Melanomas with poorly defined borders, lack of pigmentation, lentiginous extension, and location in cosmetically sensitive regions represent diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Repeated surgical reexcisions are frequently required to achieve tumor-free margins. The use of reflectance mode confocal microscopy as an noninvasive method has shown to be a promising tool for diagnosing ...

BACKGROUND Melanoma is a cancer of the skin and is increasing in incidence in the UK and Europe. Melanoma is a condition that is often curable if detected at an early stage, which makes accurate diagnosis vital. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is a tool used to image the skin. It gives high magnification images of the skin, which may provide more accurate diagnosis of lesions that are equ...
