Primary Sites and Clinicopathological Features of Corneal Melanoma: A Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Population-based Study of 29 Cases
Age at diagnosis, laterality, primary site, tumor size, the extent of disease, and treatment were not significant prognostic indicators for CM patients. Spindle cell melanoma and nodular melanoma were notable for showing worse survival outcomes than malignant melanoma. Although the sample size in the SEER database was limited, our findings may provide motivation for tailoring individualized treatments for patients with CM with different primary sites.
