Retinoblastoma

A rare eye tumor disease representing the most common intraocular malignancy in children. It is a life threatening neoplasia but is potentially curable and it can be hereditary or non hereditary, unilateral or bilateral.

Melanoma

The presence of a melanoma, a malignant cancer originating from pigment producing melanocytes. Melanoma can originate from the skin or the pigmented layers of the eye (the uvea).

Retinoblastoma or neurofibroma was suspected from the clinical diagnosis, and from the tomographic point of view, it could be choroidal hemangioma, however, the MRI study, unexpectedly suggested the possibility of choroidal malignant melanoma, and it could be confirmed by the results of a histopathologic examination.

The association between certain childhood malignancies (adrenal cortical carcinoma, osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, retinoblastoma) and malignant melanoma is discussed and it is proposed that in certain families malignant melanoma may be another manifestation of the same gene defect which results in susceptibility to tumours characteristic of the SBLA cancer family syndrome.
