Abstract

During the past 15 years we observed 21 uveal tumors in patients aged 20 years and younger. Four of them were younger than 10 years, 4 were 11 to 15 years' old, 4 ranged from 16-17 years and 9 from 18-20 years. An accelerated beam irradiation was applied in 11 cases, a surgical excision was carried out in 4 cases, and a 60 CO-applicator used for 3 patients. Three enucleations were carried out straight away. In this study we present the clinical characteristics of melanomas of young people, the therapy used, as well as the systematic analysis of the vital prognosis of the patients and of the functional prognosis of the eyes under treatment.
