  • Title: [Uveal schwannoma mimicking melanoma (case report)].
    Author: Grishina EE, Nechesniuk SIu.
    Journal: Vestn Oftalmol; 2014; 130(2):50-3. PubMed ID: 24864500.
    Abstract:
    The article presents a rare clinical case of intraocular schwannoma localized in the pre-equatorial choroidea and the pars plana and complicated by secondary glaucoma. Prolonged course of the disease and the presence of scleral staphyloma allowed to assume benign nature of the tumor. Enucleation was performed due to painful secondary glaucoma. Histological examination of the enucleated eye revealed a choroidal schwannoma. Despite the absence of pathognomonic signs and rare occurence, the possibility of intraocular schwannoma must be kept in mind when examining patients for uveal melanoma.
