[Choroid melanoma associated with 2 other primary malignant lesions. Apropos of a case].
A case of choroidal melanoma associated to two other primitive malignancies is reported. The patient, a 65-year-old woman had an amelanotic choroidal tumor of her left eye. In her clinical history was found a previously treated kidney carcinoma eight years ago. A choroidal metastasis was therefore diagnosed. After radiation therapy, an initial regression was observed. Fifteen months later, the tumor grew again. Enucleation was performed, and histopathology concluded on choroidal malignant melanoma. Three years later, a mammal carcinoma was discovered and treated by mammectomy. Her ophthalmologic and general status remained normal until now. Amelanotic choroidal tumors are difficult to diagnose. Regular follow-up can lead to a change in the diagnosis. The occurrence of multiple cancers is still not fully understood.
