Paediatric uveal melanoma in Ireland 2010 – 2024: incidence, clinical features, management, and outcomes

This national case series highlights the rarity and clinical relevance of paediatric uveal melanoma. Outcomes have been favourable, but recent case clustering supports the need for international comparative data collection. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment help preserve vision and reduce morbidity. Molecular profiling, where possible, may guide metastatic risk assessment. Further studies are needed to confirm international incidence trends.

Abstract

This national case series highlights the rarity and clinical relevance of paediatric uveal melanoma. Outcomes have been favourable, but recent case clustering supports the need for international comparative data collection. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment help preserve vision and reduce morbidity. Molecular profiling, where possible, may guide metastatic risk assessment. Further studies are needed to confirm international incidence trends.
