Progressive Scleral Necrosis following I-125 Plaque Radiotherapy for Ciliochoroidal Melanoma with Protruding Extraocular Mass.
Ocular Oncology and Pathology 2016 April
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to describe the side effects of I-125 brachytherapy in the treatment of uveal melanoma.
METHODS: This study was conducted as a case report.
RESULTS: We report a case of scleral necrosis and protruding episcleral mass following the treatment of uveal melanoma with I-125 brachytherapy.
CONCLUSIONS: Scleral necrosis after plaque radiotherapy can clinically simulate tumor recurrence with extraocular extension. The management of uveal melanoma requires a careful clinical follow-up, weighing the implications of treatment morbidity and mortality.
