以後数多くの報告があり,多くの人々により述べられているように,いわゆるEncephalotrigeminal Angiomatosis (Sturge—Weber Syndrome)の場合は臨床診断が容易であるが,脈絡膜血管腫が孤立して存在する場合の診断,特に悪性黒色腫Malignant melanomaとの鑑別診断はきわめて困難である。本稿では顔面の血管腫および中枢神経症状を伴わない孤立性の脈絡膜血管腫と思われる症例に関するわれわれの経験を報告する。 [webview.isho.jp]

A 70-year-old male presented with blurred vision of the left eye (OS). Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/60 right eye and 20/160 OS. Biomicroscopy revealed bilateral cataracts. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Amblyopia (lazy eye) As the tumor blurs the vision, the brain gradually ignores the blurred vision from that eye and the eye drifts or crosses (strabismus). [sturge-weber.org]
You may have blurred vision, wavy or warped vision, or floaters, shadows, or sparks of light in your vision. How is a choroidal hemangioma diagnosed? A choroidal hemangioma is usually found during a routine eye exam. [drugs.com]

Most patients demonstrated recovery of vision (69%), some remained stable at their pre-treatment vision level (27.5%), and 1 patient had slight visual acuity decrease. [omicsonline.org]
Workup
When distant metastases are found during the initial systemic workup, treatment of the intraocular melanoma itself becomes palliative. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Choroidal hemangioma can be stable and not require treatment. [eyecancer.com]
Treatment The decision to treat a CCH should be individualized. The physician should base treatment on the extent of symptoms, loss of vision, and the potential for visual recovery. [retinalphysician.com]
Prognosis
Melanomas with predominantly spindle cells have thin elongated cells and imply better prognosis. Epithelioid cell type melanoma has round cells and imply worse prognosis. There are two basic types of melanoma by genetics: high risk and low risk. [fighteyecancer.com]
Prognosis The prognosis for all forms of nevi tends to be good with iris nevi showing enlargement in less than 5% of cases (Territo et al., 1988). [atlasgeneticsoncology.org]
