Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Uveal melanoma is extremely rare in the paediatric population and can be associated with various pre-existing conditions. We report the case of a 9-year-old girl with no predisposing factor who presented with choroidal melanoma. A review of the literature is presented and various clinical, histopathological and prognostic features of paediatric uveal melanoma are discussed. |
