Overcoming Barriers: Diagnosis of High-Grade Melanoma: Perspective from a Clinical Case
We present the case of a 30-year-old male patient with loss of visual acuity in the left eye. The imaging study detected a lesion of high suspicion of tumor in the left eye. Enucleation of the left eye was performed, confirming the diagnosis of choroidal melanoma by histopathological study. Subsequently, the disease progressed with neoplastic activity in the lungs, liver, lymph nodes and central nervous system. A case description is provided along with a bibliographic review, focusing on the approach and prognostic factors in patients with metastatic disease.
