RAPID REGRESSION OF POST-BRACHYTHERAPY<br />

CHOROIDAL MELANOMA IN RESPONSE TO<br />

INTRAVITREAL AVASTIN<br />

Peter Hovland MD PhD (peterhovland@gmail.com)<br />

Colorado Retina Associates, Denver CO<br />

Purpose. To describe the rapid decrease in tumor volume seen in a<br />

patient treated with intravitreal avastin following brachytherapy.<br />

Methods. A 65 year old woman with anteriorly located choroidal<br />

melanoma of 10 mm thickness was treated with I-125 brachytherapy.<br />

After 6 months, persistent symptomatic sub-retinal fluid was treated<br />

with intravitreal avastin. Tumor thickness was monitored by b-scan<br />

ultrasound.<br />

Results. FNAB analysis of the tumor confirmed it to be a melanoma with<br />

a GEP Class 1. Tumor volume gradually reduced from a pre-treatment<br />

10.3 thickness to 8.0 mm in the first 6 months. Following 2 injections of<br />

intravitreal avastin, the tumor thickness decreased to less than 1 mm.<br />

Conclusions. Intravitreal avastin injections were associated with a rapid<br />

decrease in tumor volume in a patient with a large choroidal melanoma<br />

post-brachytherapy.<br />

LIGHT AND ELECTRON MICROSCOPY OF TWO CILIARY<br />

BODY TUMORS<br />

L. Schoenfield, J. McMahon, A. Singh (schoenl@ccf.org)<br />

Cleveland Clinic<br />

Purpose. To discuss the differential diagnosis of two ciliary body<br />

tumors.<br />

Methods. Two cases of ciliary body tumors were evaluated with routine<br />

H&E stains, immunoperoxidase stains, and electron microscopy.<br />

Results. To be discussed at rapid fire section.<br />

Conclusions. Two tumors from the ciliary body of a 70 year old male and<br />

a 77 year old female will be presented with light microscopy (including<br />

immunoperoxidase stains) and electron microscopy. Discussion and opinions<br />

from the audience will be welcomed as to the nature of these lesions.<br />

RETINAL DETACHMENT AFTER TTT FOR ACTIVE<br />

CHOROIDAL MELANOMA<br />

Prithvi Mruthyunjaya, MD (mruth001@mc.duke.edu)<br />

Ocular Oncology and Vitreoretinal Surgery Services, Duke Eye Center,<br />

Durham, NC<br />

Purpose. 54 yo male with choroidal melanoma and exudative retinal<br />

detachment has undergone plaque brachytherapy with continued<br />

growth. Transpupillary thermotherapy is applied and a subsequent<br />

rhegmatogenous retinal detachment develops. What is the ideal timing<br />

of RD repair in the setting of an active melanoma?<br />

Methods. Case report<br />

Results. Audience participation requested<br />

Conclusions. What is the ideal timing of RD repair in the setting of an<br />

LATE RECURRENCE OF A PRESUMED IRIS MELANO-<br />

MA<br />

John McWhae, Ryan Steinke (jmcwhae@gmail.com)<br />

Purpose. A 65-year old woman presented with a spontaneous hyphema<br />

OD. She has a history of iris melanoma treated with iridectomy 35 years<br />

prior. She was found to have 5 small amelanotic angle lesions. The<br />

patient refused any interventions. A second hyphema occurred 3 years<br />

later. The patient has now been followed for 5 years without any growth<br />

of the lesions. Possible explanations for this unusual tumor behaviour<br />

will be discussed.<br />

Carol Shields, M.D. (carol.shields@shieldsoncology.com)<br />

Wills Eye Institute<br />

Purpose. An interesting case.<br />

Methods. Patient with uveal melanoma.<br />

Results. Halo nevi developed.<br />

Conclusions. An interesting cutaneous phenomenon developed<br />

following treatment of uveal melanoma in a young woman.<br />

RESECTION OF AN IRIS TUMOR<br />

Arun D Singh, Laura Snyder, Linda Brodell, Mary B. Turell (singha@ccf.org)<br />

Department of Ophthalmic Oncology, Cole Eye Institute, Cleveland<br />

Clinic, Cleveland, OH<br />

Purpose. A 71-year old Caucasian female was noted to have a small, light<br />

brown mass extending into the angle without iris deformity. On follow<br />

up examination sixteen months later, a new finding of iris distortion was<br />

observed.<br />
