  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

Four cases of ophthalmic malignancy are reported to illustrate the importance of longterm follow-up after initial therapeutic success. The cases include : cho-roidal melanoma which was enucleated 10 years before generalized metastasis developed, bilateral retinoblas-toma in which systemic metastasis developed 8 years after enucleation, bilateral retinoblastoma followed by malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the orbit 16 years after successful conservative treatment, and adenoid cystic cancer of the lacrimal gland which was followed by multiple lung metastasis 8 years after successful extirpation.

A nation-wide survey concerning the prognosis of ocular melanomas that were treated more than 5 years before has shown that 111 out of 242 cases were not adequately followed up for 3 years of more after treat-ment. Above cases point to the necessity of a more complete follow-up for at least 10 years after the initial treatment of ophthalmic malignancies.
