Abstract
in English, Portuguese

Choroidal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignant tumor in adults. None of the different treatments available offers advantages of survival, resorting more and more to conservative treatments such as brachytherapy, which has been available in Portugal since 2013. In this article we review the clinical characteristics, risk factors, diagnosis, complementary exams and therapeutic options in choroidal melanoma.

Nenhum dos diferentes tratamentos disponíveis oferece vantagens de sobrevida recorrendo-se, cada vez mais, a tratamentos conservadores como a braquiterapia, a qual passou a estar disponível em Portugal desde 2013. Neste artigo revemos as características clínicas, factores de risco, diagnóstico, exames complementares e opções terapêuticas no melanoma da coroideia.
