The First School of Clinical Medical, Gansu University of Chinese Medicine, Lanzhou, 730000, China.
Background: Proton beam therapy (PBT) has been gradually introduced for treating choroidal melanoma. This study systematically reviewed clinical reports to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PBT in choroidal melanoma patients.
Methods: This systematic review included all the primary studies involving PBT for choroidal melanoma patients through April 2024.
A case of cutaneous melanoma metastatic to the ciliary body and choroid with complete regression via systemic dual checkpoint inhibitor therapy.
BMC Ophthalmol
January 2025
Department of Surgery, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, TN, USA.
Background: Cutaneous melanoma is the leading cause of death from cutaneous malignancy and tends to metastasize lymphatically and hematogenously to the lung, liver, brain, and bone; it is a rare source of metastatic disease to the eye. Herein we provide a case report of cutaneous melanoma metastatic to the ciliary body and choroid involving clinical examination, slit lamp photography, and B-scan ultrasonography.
Result: A 55-year-old female with known metastatic cutaneous melanoma presented with pain, a large ciliochoroidal mass, visual decline, and diffuse intraocular inflammation.
A Rare Case of Concurrent Intraventricular Meningioma and Choroid Plexus Papilloma: A Case Report.

Department of General and Clinical Pathology, Medical University of Plovdiv, 4002 Plovdiv, Bulgaria.
This case presents an unusual combination between an intraventricular meningioma and a choroid plexus papilloma. Intraventricular meningiomas are rare intraventricular tumors presenting with symptoms of hydrocephalus, headache, and neurological deficits. The rarity of choroid plexus papillomas is highlighted in medical diagnostics, with the majority of these findings being incidental within the setting of obstructive hydrocephalus.

Management of choroidal/ciliary body metastasis in the era of targeted cancer therapy.
Front Oncol
December 2024
Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA, United States.
Introduction: Choroidal metastases from systemic malignancies are the most common intraocular malignancies in adults. External beam radiation (EBR) has historically been first-line therapy for metastatic tumors to the choroid. However, good responses have been described with newer targeted biologics.
