Recognizing that <1% of all uveal melanomas occur in young persons, and that very few clinicians encounter more than a few such cases over an extended career, we felt that a retrospective review of literature and sharing of our clinical experience would be appropriate to remind readers about this age subgroup of patients with posterior uveal melanoma. This interest stems from the increase in reported cases of uveal melanoma in younger individuals and recent advances in the field.

Ophthalmol Sci
November 2024
Liverpool Ocular Oncology Research Group, Department of Eye and Vision Science, Institute of Life Course and Medical Sciences (ILCaMS), University of Liverpool, Liverpool, United Kingdom.
Purpose: Testing the validity of a self-supervised deep learning (DL) model, RETFound, for use on posterior uveal (choroidal) melanoma (UM) and nevus differentiation.
Design: Case-control study.
Subjects: Ultrawidefield fundoscopy images, both color and autofluorescence, were used for this study, obtained from 4255 patients seen at the Liverpool Ocular Oncology Center between 1995 and 2020.
Black posterior vitreous detachment: A 10-year historical cohort of pigmented uveal tumors.

Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, Tel Aviv University, Israel.
Objective: Pigmentary posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), referred to as "black PVD," is a rare entity describing PVD along with pigment dispersion in the vitreous. There are a few case reports describing pigmentary PVD, yet the association between pigmentary PVD and uveal and optic disc tumors was not described before. The aim of this study was to report the clinical features of patients with pigmentary PVD associated with these tumors.

Background/aim: Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas occur in not only the ocular adnexa, but rarely in the sclera or uvea. Histopathological confirmation contributes to a better understanding of the pathogenesis and treatment. We report a case of uveoscleral MALT lymphoma with angle-closure glaucoma.

Department of Ophthalmology, The Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang, 050000, Hebei Province, China.
Background: Leopard spots can appear in a variety of diseases; however, they are extremely rare in children with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. This study presents two such rare cases in which leopard spot retinopathy was the initial manifestation of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
Case Presentation: Case 1 involved a 4-year-old boy had previously been diagnosed with left eye uveitis and received systemic steroid therapy at a local hospital, but symptoms persisted.
Novel Multimodal Imaging in Bilateral Diffuse Uveal Melanocytic Proliferation and Change in the Findings During Follow-up and Treatment.
Retina
December 2024
Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Kellogg Eye Center, University of Michigan.
Purpose: To describe the advanced multimodal imaging findings of patients with bilateral diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation (BDUMP) and the changes in these findings over time.
Methods: Fundus photography, fundus autofluorescence (FAF), fundus fluorescein angiography (FA), spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT), B-scan ultrasonography (US), and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) images of the patients diagnosed with BDUMP at a single institution between years 2006-2023 were evaluated.
Results: Sixteen eyes of 8 patients with BDUMP were included.
