PATINO-CALLA, Karina; QUEZADA, Gabriela e GOICOCHEA-AREVALO, Ronald. Choroidal melanoma: Case report and review of reports from Latin America. Gac. mex. oncol. [online]. 2022, vol.21, suppl.1, pp.95-101. Epub 11-Set-2023. ISSN 2565-005X. https://doi.org/10.24875/j.gamo.22000009.
Primary melanoma in the choroid is the most common intraocular neoplasia and non-cutaneous melanoma. We report the case of a 54-year-old patient with progressive loss vision in the right eye. The high suspicion of choroidal melanoma by ultrasound justified enucleation. Pathology evaluation confirmed the diagnosis. In addition, a systematic review of clinical cases reported in Latin America has been carried out, observing comparable characteristics in the form of presentation and treatment.
