Conjunctival Tumours / Pigmented tumours Conjunctival melanoma (2) • Differential diagnosis: -large naevus at puberty -ciliary body melanoma with extraocular extension -melanocytoma; congenital, black, can not be moved over the globe -pyogenic granuloma
Conjunctival Tumours / Pigmented tumours Conjunctival melanoma (3) • Treatment: -Exicional biopsy often with supplemental cryotherapy unless intraocular or orbital involvement is present -Exenteration for extensive and aggressive disease, does not improve the survival
Tumours of the uveaIris melanoma • Three times commoner in light blue – gray than brown eyes • %8 of all uveal melanomas • Slow growing, low malignancy • Localized or diffuse, >3mm in diameter, inferior half of the iris • May cause glaucoma
Tumours of the uveaIris melanoma • Differential diagnosis: • iris naevus • ciliary body melanoma • metastases • primary iris cyst • adenoma of the iris pigment epithelium • leiomyoma

Tumours of the uveaCiliary body melanoma • %12 of uveal melanomas • during the 6th decade • Signs: • dilated scleral veins • pressure on the lens • retinal detachment • anterior uveitis • incidental finding
Tumours of the uveaCiliary body melanoma • Treatment: • Enucleation for large melanomas • Iridocyclectomy for restricted cases • Radiotherapy in selected cases
Tumours of the uveaChoroidal melanoma • Most common primary, malignant, intraocular tm • %80 of all uveal melanomas • Usually 6th decade, • Symptoms: decreased vision, vision field defect, floaters, light flashes, pain, may be asymptomatic
Tumours of the uveaChoroidal melanoma • Signs: • Elevated, subretinal, oval-shaped mass • Usually brown • Orange pigment (lipofucsin) in the RPE on the surface • May grow to mushroom shape • Secondary exudative detachment
Tumours of the uveaChoroidal melanoma • Differential diagnosis: • Large choroidal naevus • Localized choroidal haemangioma • Metastatic tm • Retinal detachment • Choroidal detachment • Posterior scleritis • Choroidal granulomas • AMD
Tumours of the uveaChoroidal melanoma • Investigations: • Binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy • Slitlamp biomicroscopy • Ultrasonography: most accurate, choroidal excavation and orbital shadowing • FFA: of limited value • ICG: superior to FFA • CT: for extraocular extensions • MRI: not pathognomic • Colour coded Doppler: for differentiating pigmented tm • Fine needle aspiration • A general medical examination to exclude metastase to choroid and to detect metastatic spread
Tumours of the uveaChoroidal melanoma • Treatment: is complex, may be combined • Plaque radiotherapy ( brachytherapy ) is the first choice; less than 10 x 20mm • Charged particle irradiation: for which are not suitable for brachytherapy; within the 4mm of the disc or fovea • Transpupillary thermotherapy ( TTT, diode laser) for small tms • Laser photocoagulation • Trans-scleral local resection: < 16mm in dia. • Enucleation: if all useful vision has been irreversibly lost • Exenteration: for extraocular extension • Palliation with chemotherapy and immunotherapy
Tumours of the uveaChoroidal melanoma • Prognostic factors: 5-year mortality • Small tms (<10mm ) % 16 • Medium tms ( 10-15 mm) % 32 • Larger tms % 53
Tumours of the uvea Circumscribed choroidal haemangioma • In adults, unilateral • Smoothly elevated, red-orange choroidal mass • USG shows high internal reflectivity • FFA shows early hyperfluorescense and late leakage (typical) • Treatment by external irradiation if vision is threatened
Usually affects over half of the choroid, enlarges very slowly Typically occurs in patients with Sturge-Weber syndrome Thickening of the choroid Deep red colour, may be missed if not compared with the fellow eye Tumours of the uveaDiffuse choroidal haemangioma
Tumours of the uveaMetastatic carcinoma • More common than primary malignancies but undetected or overshadowed • Most frequent primary site is breast in women and the bronchus in both sexes • Less common: kidney, testis,gastrointestinal tract • May cause visual impairment • Fast growing, creamy white, placoid lesion • Infiltrates laterally, ill defined borders • Teratment : radiotherapy, systemic therapy for the primary tm, enucleation if painful
Very rare, benign, ossifying tumour which affects healthy young women %25 both eyes are affected but not necessarily simultaneously Orange-yellow, well defined, oval or round, geographical borders Most commonly near the optic disc or at the posterior pole Secondary NV may develop FFA shows diffuse mottled hyperfluorescence USG shows very dense lesion Tumours of the uveaChoroidal osseous choristoma
Two forms of non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma frequently involve the eye; Systemic lymphoma (lymph nodes, visceral organs, uveal tract) CNS lymphoma Chronic anterior uveitis, intermediate uveitis, subretinal multifocal, yellowish plaques Neurological evaluation important Treatment with radiotherapy and chemotherapy but long term prognosis is poor Tumours of the uveaIntraocular lymphoma
Tumours of the uveaMelanocytoma • May arise anywhere in uveal tract • Most frequently affects optic nerve head and dark skinned individuals • Deep seated tumour causes optic nerve dysfunction • Black lesion with feathery edges occupying anterior part of optic nerve head • Elevated and occupies the entire disc • Few develop into melanomas
Most common primary, malignant, intraocular tm in childhood In 1/20000 live births Becomes apparent before the age of 3 years No sexual predilection Tumours of the retina Retinoblastoma
Tumours of the retina Retinoblastoma • Genetic aspect: malignant transformation of primitive retinal cells before final differentiation • RPE1 gene is located at region 14 on the long arm of chromosome 13 • Non-heritable: %60, single tm, at age of 2 years, no pass to offspring • Heritable: %40, autosomal dominant transmission with high penetrance, but only %6 have family history
Tumours of the retina Retinoblastoma • Heritable: • % 85 develop bilateral, multiple tms at about 18 months of age • risk of transmission is % 50 Genetic counselling: DNA analysis can be performed in suitable cases
Tumours of the retina Retinoblastoma • Presentation: • Leukocoria • Strabismus • Secondary glaucoma • Orbital inflammation • Proptosis • Metastases to regional lymph nodes and brain
Tumours of the retina Retinoblastoma • Signs: • An early intraretinal tm: flat , round white lesion • An endophytic tm : projects from surface as a white mass ( cottage cheese) • An exophytic tm: grows as white mass with an overlaying retinal detachment
Tumours of the retina Retinoblastoma • Investigations: • USG: detects calcification and tm dimensions • CT : detects calcification and tm extension • MRI: is superior to CT for optic nerve evaluation
Tumours of the retina Retinoblastoma • Treatment: • Laserphotocoagulation, TTT, cryotherapy, brachytherapy, chemotherapy, external beam radiotherapy, • Enucleation if chemoreduction fails or good status of the fellow eye makes aggressive chemotherapy impossible or poor vision with high risk or reccurence
Tumours of the retina Retinoblastoma • Prognostic factors: mortality %10 • Optic nerve involvement: mortality % 65 • Choroidal invasion is adverse factor • Tm size and location • Cellular differentiation • Older children have worse prognosis
