| Summary: |
Purpose:
Epidemiological analysis of the choroidal melanoma cases
sent from all over the Poland and treated in our clinic
between January 1998 and December 2002.
Material and methods: The study included 687
patients with choroidal melanoma 348 women and 339 men.
Results: The age of patients was 14-97 years (mean
56 years). The most numerous group consisted of patients
between 60-70 years of age (22,7%). Most of the cases
came from the regions of Malopolska, Silesia,
Lower-Silesia and Mazovia. The time between first
symptoms and the first visit in our clinic was between 1
week to 2 years. According to the COMS classification we
found small melanoma in 13% of cases, medium in 51% and
large in 36% of cases. We found the presence of other
malignancies besides the choroidal melanoma in 4,3%
patients. We analyzed the demography and positive family
history of ocular and general malignancies in the
patients. |
