  • Title: Modified enucleation via lateral orbitotomy for choroidal melanoma with orbital extension: a report of two cases.
    Author: De Potter P, Shields JA, Shields CL, Santos R.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg; 1992; 8(2):109-13. PubMed ID: 1520651.
    Abstract:
    We report two cases of choroidal melanoma with massive orbital extension that were managed by modified enucleation by way of a lateral orbitotomy. In both cases, the orbital component of the tumor was removed intact along with the globe. This approach allows placement of an orbital implant and avoids the long healing process associated with orbital exenteration.
