ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT A 68-year-old man diagnosed with choroidal melanoma (CM) in the right eye underwent treatment with episcleral brachytherapy (I125) and transpupillary thermotherapy. Ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging were performed and revealed ocular recurrence of CM. Treatment with extended enucleation was performed. Macroscopic and microscopic examinations revealed extraocular extension and malignant cells, respectively. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated tumoral Melan-A and HMB-45 expression. No cytogenic abnormalities were detected with fluorescence in situhybridization of tumor cells using probes against chromosomes 3q27 and 8q24. The patient underwent adjuvant external beam radiotherapy for treatment of residual tumor tissue. This case represents the first reported case of recurrent CM with no cytogenetic abnormalities and the absence of metastatic disease, despite a number of the poorest prognostic factors.
RESUMO
RESUMO Um homem de 68 anos de idade com diagnóstico de melanoma de coroide no olho direito foi submetido a tratamento com braquiterapia episcleral (I125) e termoterapia transpupilar. Ultrassonografia, tomografia computadorizada e ressonância magnética foram realizadas para avaliar a presença de recorrência ocular ou doença sistêmica. Enucleação ampliada foi realizada para tratar a recorrência ocular. O exame macroscópico e microscópico revelou o tipo de célula tumoral e a extensão extraocular. Colorações por Melan-A e HMB-45 foram realizadas. A fluorescência por hibridização in situ com sondas para os cromossomos 3q27 e 8q24 não mostraram anormalidades citogenéticas. O paciente foi submetido a radioterapia externa adjuvante para o tratamento de tumor residual orbitário. Este caso representa a o primeiro relato de paciente sem anomalias citogenéticas e sem doença metastática, apesar de demonstrar alguns dos mais pobres fatores prognósticos.
