It is the second most common malignant tumour of the lacrimal gland and presents as a painless mass with or without new increase in size. [eyeplastics.com]

Iris melanoma presents as an iris pigmented mass. Ciliary body melanoma can cause blurred vision. Loss of vision, flashing light sensation, exudative retinal detachment are some of the common presentations of a choroidal melanoma. [my.clevelandclinic.org]

Clinical presentation depends on the location. When the tumor is located on the iris, then it may be apparent to the patient or friends and family as a brown nodule. [radiopaedia.org]

Clinics It most commonly presents as a gray-white lesion of the anterior chamber angle, but can present as a diffuse mass causing leukocoria (Broughton and Zimmerman, 1978). [atlasgeneticsoncology.org]

The workup of suspected metastatic scirrhous breast cancer to the orbit includes a complete history and physical, imaging of the orbit (CT or MRI), mammogram, orbital mass biopsy and body imaging for metastatic disease. [webeye.ophth.uiowa.edu]

Clinical Testing and Workup An eye doctor may suspect ocular melanoma following a routine eye exam. Individuals may visit an eye doctor because of problems with vision or soreness in one eye. [rarediseases.org]

In general, treatment involves surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. In addition specialized procedures such as thermotherapy and brachytherapy are used for local ophthalmic treatment. [my.clevelandclinic.org]

Other treatments Other treatments are sometimes used. They may be used as the main treatment for eye melanoma, or to reduce the risk of the melanoma coming back. [macmillan.org.uk]

Once a diagnosis has been made, the treatment can begin. Treatment The treatment depends on how far advanced the tumor is. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.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]

• Ultrasound may be necessary • Treatment – enucleation, local resection, radiotherapy • Prognosis is poor as presentation is usually late 6. [slideshare.net]

Stages and Outlook (Prognosis) After a cancer diagnosis, staging provides important information about the extent of cancer in the body and anticipated response to treatment. [cancer.org]

Prognosis The outlook depends on the size of the tumor when it's diagnosed. The prognosis is better if the cancer is contained within the eye and has not spread to other parts of the body. [drugs.com]

Prognosis Surgical removal is curative for many orbital tumors and the cosmetic results can be excellent. The outcome and prognosis ultimately depends on the pathological diagnosis. [skullbaseinstitute.com]

Sunglasses to prevent choroidal melanoma? There is a higher incidence of choroidal melanoma in people with blue eyes and people that work outdoors. [mastereyeassociates.com]

Prevention Because the causes of choroidal melanoma are not well understood, there is no known way to prevent it. Treatment Management and treatment of choroidal melanoma depends on the tumor's size. [drugs.com]
