Diffuse primary malignant melanoma after prior primary cutaneous malignant melanoma
J. J. Augsburger, J. A. Shields, M. J. Mastrangelo and P. E. Frank
A diffuse choroidal tumor developed in the right eye of a 64-year-old man
ten years after excision of a primary malignant melanoma of the lip and a
bilateral neck dissection for regional lymph node metastasis. His clinical
presentation suggested the diagnosis of choroidal malignant melanoma
metastatic from the skin, but histopathologic evaluation of the tumor
demonstrated it to be a primary diffuse choroidal malignant melanoma.
