  • Title: Choroidal Melanoma Metastatic to the Contralateral Medial Rectus After Orbital Exenteration.
    Author: McElnea E, Stevenson LJ, La Rosa CS, Liew S, Hardy TG.
    Journal: Turk J Ophthalmol; 2019 Oct 24; 49(5):305-309. PubMed ID: 31650817.
    Abstract:
    A 78-year-old Caucasian woman presented with pain in her right and only eye that was worse on abduction. Her history was significant for a choroidal melanoma affecting her left eye for which she underwent an orbital exenteration 12 years previously. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the right orbit identified a mass lesion affecting the medial rectus, suspicious for metastatic melanoma. A histopathological diagnosis of metastatic melanoma was subsequently made following biopsy of the right medial rectus.
