Malignant melanoma in a blind eye

D P Sarma et al. J Surg Oncol. 1983 Jul.

Abstract

A 62-year-old man developed a malignant melanoma in his left eye that had been blind due to trauma for 35 years. This case illustrates the difficulties in detection and early diagnosis of occult malignant melanoma of the uveal tract in phthistic globes. The necessity for long-term follow-up of posttraumatic eyes is stressed.
