Ocular tumours may arise from various tissues and therefore present as a heterogeneous group of diseases with unspecific symptoms. Some of the tumours carry a high mortality with a life expectancy less than 50% after ten years. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for a good outcome, and centralization has led to a decreased morbidity and increased survival in Denmark.

The clinical course of trilateral retinoblastoma can be unpredictable, and expressivity of germline variants may vary during development. We describe an unexpected fatal case of trilateral retinoblastoma with an intracranial tumor in an unusual location and discuss genetic copy number analyses as a useful diagnostic tool with therapeutic potential.

Purpose: To compare the proteomic profiles of primary uveal melanomas, with and without loss of chromosome 3.

Methods: Frozen specimens from three uveal melanomas with disomy 3 and from four tumors with monosomy 3, according to fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis, were subjected to high-resolution, two-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis. The protein expression profiles of the two uveal melanoma cytogenetic groups were compared: Proteins that differed significantly were excised and analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry.
