Primary choroidal and cutaneous melanomas occurring in a patient with the B-K mole syndrome phenotype.
A patient with malignant melanoma of the choroid and ciliary body had a primary cutaneous melanoma and the B-K mole syndrome phenotype. Because of this newly described association, all patients with the B-K mole syndrome (phenotype) should have a complete ocular examination to discover if there is any evidence of ocular melanoma. Likewise, all patients with ocular melanoma should have a thorough dermatologic examination to determine evidence of cutaneous melanoma and the B-K mole syndrome (phenotype).
