Abstract

Choroidal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular cancer in adults. The predominant sites of metastasis that are associated with a poor prognosis are liver, lung and bone. The authors report here on a case of metastatic choroidal melanoma in the rib and bronchus, and this was all treated by surgical resection.

맥락막 흑색종은 성인에서 가장 빈번한 안구 내 종양이다. 간, 폐, 뼈로 전이를 잘하며 그 예후는 나쁜 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서 저자들은 늑골 및 기관지에 전이된 맥락막 흑색종에 대하여 수술적 절제를 하였으며 이를 보고하고자 한다.
