  • Title: [Adrenal metastasis of choroidal melanoma: a case report].
    Author: Vitri P, Caravati C, Guzzetti S, De Angelis S, Buzzi G, Gornati R.
    Journal: Ann Ital Chir; 1994; 65(5):537-41. PubMed ID: 7733576.
    Abstract:
    We report on the case of a 32 years old man submitted to right eye enucleation twelve years before for a choroidal melanoma. We observe a metastases located in the left adrenal gland. The blood-tests, the TAC of the abdomen did not show other localizations, while during laparotomy were discovered metastases in the pancreas and in the omentum. In this case, the age of tumor's development, the age of clinical manifestation, the period between the enucleation and the appearance of the metastases and their localization are exceptions to the normal biological behaviour of the choroidal melanoma.
