Conjunctival Melanoma: A Case Presentation.

Conjunctival melanoma is an uncommon tumor that is likely to recur and carries an overall mortality rate of approximately 30%. Melanoma arises from melanocytes, most often in sun-exposed skin. Less commonly, melanoma originates from other tissues such as the uvea, rectum, mouth, respiratory tract, and conjunctiva. Conjunctival melanoma represents only 1.6% of all noncutaneous melanoma. Herein, we reported a case of conjunctival melanoma followed by reviewing the literature to provide an optimal diagnostic approach.

The uterine adenosarcoma with postoperative residual in a woman treated by total abdominal hysterectomy/bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy: A case report and review of literature.

BACKGROUND: In patients with uterine adenosarcoma, a total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) is typically recommended as an initial treatment. There is no consensus on adjuvant therapies. CASE: We report the case of a patient with uterine adenosarcoma with postoperative residual disease. We performed four courses of adjuvant chemotherapy, including Ifosfamide, Mesna, and Adriamycin, and whole pelvic radiation with a dose of 50.4 Gy/28 Fr. CONCLUSION: A combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy may be a promising treatment option for uterine adenosarcoma with postoperative residual disease.
