Retinoblastoma in Asia: Clinical Presentation and Treatment Outcomes in 2112 Patients from 33 Countries.

PURPOSE: To describe the clinical presentation and treatment outcomes of children who received a diagnosis of retinoblastoma in 2017 throughout Asia. DESIGN: Multinational, prospective study including treatment-naïve patients in Asia who received a diagnosis of retinoblastoma in 2017 and were followed up thereafter. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 2112 patients (2797 eyes) from 96 retinoblastoma treatment centers in 33 Asian countries. INTERVENTIONS: Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, enucleation, and orbital exenteration. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Enucleation and death. RESULTS: Within the cohort, 1021 patients (48%) were from South Asia (SA), 503 patients (24%) were from East Asia (EA), 310 patients (15%) were from Southeast Asia (SEA), 218 patients (10%) were from West Asia (WA), and 60 patients (3%) were from Central Asia (CA). Mean age at presentation was 27 months (median, 23 months; range, < 1-261 months). The cohort included 1195 male patients (57%) and 917 female patients (43%). The most common presenting symptoms were leukocoria (72%) and strabismus (13%). Using the American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging Manual, Eighth Edition, classification, tumors were staged as cT1 (n = 441 [16%]), cT2 (n = 951 [34%]), cT3 (n = 1136 [41%]), cT4 (n = 267 [10%]), N1 (n = 48 [2%]), and M1 (n = 129 [6%]) at presentation. Retinoblastoma was treated with intravenous chemotherapy in 1450 eyes (52%) and 857 eyes (31%) underwent primary enucleation. Three-year Kaplan-Meier estimates for enucleation and death were 33% and 13% for CA, 18% and 4% for EA, 27% and 15% for SA, 32% and 22% for SEA, and 20% and 11% for WA (P < 0.0001 and P < 0.0001), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: At the conclusion of this study, significant heterogeneity was found in treatment outcomes of retinoblastoma among the regions of Asia. East Asia displayed better outcomes with higher rates of globe and life salvage, whereas Southeast Asia showed poorer outcomes compared with the rest of Asia.

High-Risk Histopathological Features of Retinoblastoma following Primary Enucleation: A Global Study of 1426 Patients from 5 Continents.

PURPOSE: To evaluate high-risk histopathological features (HRHF) following primary enucleation of eyes with retinoblastoma (RB) and assess the patient outcomes across continents. METHODS: Retrospective study of 1426 primarily enucleated RB eyes from five continents. RESULTS: Of all, 923 (65%) were from Asia (AS), 27 (2%) from Australia (AUS), 120 (8%) from Europe (EUR), 162 (11%) from North America (NA), and 194 (14%) from South America (SA). Based on the continent (AS vs. AUS vs. EUR vs. NA vs. SA), the histopathology features included massive choroidal invasion (31% vs. 7% vs. 13% vs. 19% vs. 27%, p=0.001), post-laminar optic nerve invasion (27% vs. 0% vs. 16% vs. 21% vs. 19%, p=0.0006), scleral infiltration (5% vs. 0% vs. 4% vs. 2% vs. 7%, p=0.13), and microscopic extrascleral infiltration (4% vs. 0% vs. <1% vs. <1% vs. 4%, p=0.68). Adjuvant chemotherapy with/without orbital radiotherapy was given in 761 (53%) patients. Based on Kaplan-Meier estimates in different continents (AS vs. AUS vs. EUR vs. NA vs. SA), the 6-year risk of orbital tumor recurrence was 5% vs. 2% vs. 0% vs. 0% vs. 12% (p<0.001), systemic metastasis was reported in 8% vs. 5% vs. 2% vs. 0% vs. 13% (p=0.001), and death in 10% vs. 3% vs. 2% vs. 0% vs. 11% (p<0.001) patients. CONCLUSION: There is a wide variation in the infiltrative histopathology features of RB across continents, resulting in variable outcomes. SA and AS had a higher risk of orbital tumor recurrence, systemic metastasis, and death compared to AUS, EUR, and NA.

Global retinoblastoma studies: A review.

In the current era of global health awareness for retinoblastoma (RB), the challenge that lies ahead of us is providing optimal care for children affected with RB in underdeveloped nations. The understanding of similarities and disparities between various nations across the world aids in achieving comparable outcomes. With dissolving geographic barriers and evolving collaboration, global collaborative studies on RB are becoming increasingly common. They provide real-world, robust evidence on several aspects of RB. This review discusses insights gained from global RB studies regarding the demographics, certain aspects of etiopathogenesis and epidemiology, international travel burden, disparities in clinical presentations based on national income levels, management protocols, pathology, treatment outcomes, and the effect of COVID-19 on RB care across the world. These insights are likely to impact individual practice as well as inform policy reforms.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy for advanced eyelid and periocular sebaceous gland carcinoma: a study of 25 cases.

PURPOSE: To report the outcomes of platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) for eyelid and periocular sebaceous gland carcinoma (eSGC). METHODS: Retrospective study of 25 patients. RESULTS: The mean age at presentation of eSGC was 59 years. The mean tumor basal diameter was 46 mm. By the 8th edition of AJCC classification, tumors belonged T2 (n = 2, 8%), T3 (n = 6, 24%), and T4 (n = 17, 68%); N1 (n = 12,48%); and M1 (n = 1, 4%). NACT with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and cisplatin/carboplatin was administered in 21 (84%)/4 (16%) patients, respectively. The mean number of cycles of neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy per patient was 2 (median, 3). The mean percentage reduction of tumor basal volume after neoadjuvant chemotherapy was 65% (median, 60%). After NACT, 12 (48%) patients underwent surgical treatment, 6 (12%) patients underwent EBRT, and 4 (8%) underwent adjuvant chemotherapy. A total of 11 (44%) patients were lost to follow-up during the course of treatment, of whom 3 died from metastatic disease. In 16 patients followed up for ≥ 3 months, complete tumor control was achieved in 11 (69%) patients, local tumor control in 14 (88%), and globe salvage in 7 (44%) at a mean follow-up of 25 months (median, 7 months; range, 3 to 110 months). No tumor recurrence was seen in any case. One (4%) serious adverse event of cardiotoxicity was noted. CONCLUSION: Platinum-based NACT is a suitable option for eSGC with advanced tumors and locoregional metastasis. Adverse events are rare and in patients compliant with treatment, NACT-based combination therapy offers globe salvage and systemic tumor control.

Truxima (rituximab-abbs) for Periocular Xanthogranuloma with Adult-Onset Asthma and Systemic IgG4-Related Disease.

A 58-year-old female with a 3-year history of adult-onset asthma, bilateral blepharoptosis, dry eye, and yellow-orange xanthelasma-like plaques extensively involving both upper eyelids presented with a diagnosis of adult-onset asthma with periocular xanthogranuloma (AAPOX) and systemic IgG4-related disease. Over the next 8 years, she received 10 intralesional triamcinolone injections (40-80 mg) in the right upper eyelid, 7 intralesional triamcinolone injections (30-60 mg) in the left upper eyelid, underwent right anterior orbitotomy twice followed by 4 doses of rituximab (1000 mg intravenous infusion) without regression of the AAPOX. The patient was then treated with 2 monthly doses of Truxima (1000 mg intravenous infusion), a biosimilar to rituximab. At the most recent follow-up, 13 months later, the xanthelasma-like plaques and orbital infiltration had markedly improved. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of Truxima being used to treat AAPOX with systemic IgG4-related disease and to generate a sustained clinical response.

Exogenous Ochronosis With Ocular Involvement From Chronic Use of Teavigo.

Exogenous ochronosis refers to accumulation of homogentisic acid metabolites in tissues, manifesting as pigmentation of affected tissues. Phenolic compounds are most commonly implicated, including hydroquinone, quinine, phenol, resorcinol, mercury, and picric acid. The affected connective tissues exhibit brownish discoloration when heavily pigmented and the histopathological appearance is characteristic with "banana-shaped" ochre-colored pigment deposits. Herein, the authors describe a rare case of exogenous ochronosis involving the conjunctiva, sclera and skin, as a result of chronic use of Teavigo (94% epigallocatechin gallate), a polyphenol compound with postulated antioxidant and antiapoptotic activity.

Bilateral Conjunctival Actinic Granuloma With Necrobiotic Vasculitic Pattern: A Diagnosis of Exclusion.

A 53-year-old Caucasian male presented with an inflamed-appearing limbal nodule in his OD, clinically compatible with nodular episcleritis, that was unresponsive to topical corticosteroid therapy. Excisional biopsy of the lesion was performed and histopathological examination revealed foci of necrotizing vasculitis and granulomatous inflammation in a background of intense actinic elastosis. Infectious stains for organisms were negative. A comprehensive systemic evaluation for vasculitides was negative. Three years later, the patient returned with a clinically and histopathologically identical lesion in his OS. Systemic evaluation was noncontributory again, and a diagnosis of bilateral conjunctival actinic granuloma with necrobiotic vasculitic pattern was made.

Ocular surface squamous neoplasia with 360° limbal involvement: a study of 130 patients.

PURPOSE: To describe the risk factors, clinical features and management outcomes of ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) with 360° of limbal involvement (360-OSSN) and compare with segmental limbal involvement (SL-OSSN). METHODS: Retrospective comparative study of 360-OSSN vs SL-OSSN. All 360-OSSN and every 10th patient with SL-OSSN during the study period (2012-2020) were included. Lesions with uncertain diagnosis were excluded. RESULTS: Of 1250 patients diagnosed with OSSN during the study period, 30 (2%) had 360-OSSN. A total of 100 patients of OSSN with SL-OSSN were included for comparison. 360-OSSN patients more often had longer duration of symptoms (mean, 17 vs 8 months; p, 0.003), prior misdiagnosis (17% vs 6%, p, 0.13) and prior intervention (47% vs 13%; p, 0.0002) than patients with SL-OSSN. 360-OSSN had higher incidence of scleral fixity (57% vs 16%; p < 0.0001), corneal/scleral melt (17% vs 0%; p, 0.0005), intraocular tumor extension (17% vs 0%; p, 0.003), orbital tumor extension (33% vs 1%; p < 0.0001), and advanced T stage at presentation (Tis: 37% vs 76%, T1: 0% vs 15%; T2: 7% vs 4%; T3: 27% vs 4%; T4: 30% vs 1%; p < 0.001). Over a mean follow-up of 14 months, lymph node metastasis (8% vs 0%; p, 0.05) and distant metastasis (4% vs 0%; p, 0.23) were more common in 360-OSSN group compared to SL-OSSN group. CONCLUSION: Risk factors of 360-OSSN include prolonged symptoms, prior misdiagnosis and prior intervention. It represents an advanced form of disease with propensity for corneo-scleral melt and invasive disease which requires aggressive management.

Metastatic conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma: a study of 5 patients.

PURPOSE: To describe the risk factors, clinical features, management, and outcomes in patients with metastatic conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma (mcSCC). METHODS: Retrospective comparative study. RESULTS: Of the 1192 cases with ocular surface squamous neoplasia during the study period, 654 (55%) patients were biopsied and 223 (19%) had invasive squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). Of these 223 patients with cSCC, locoregional metastasis developed in 4 (2%) and distant metastasis in 1 (0.4%) patient. Mean age at diagnosis of OSSN was 48 years (median, 40 years; range 35-74 years). Tumors belonged to T2 (n = 2; 40%) and T4a (n = 3; 60%) at presentation. Primary treatment modalities included topical and subconjunctival interferon α 2B immunotherapy (n = 2; 40%), extended enucleation (n = 1; 20%) and orbital exenteration (n = 2; 40%). Metastases were noted after a mean period of 22 months of onset of primary tumor (median, 18 months; range 2-46 months). Death from metastatic disease occurred in all patients over a mean follow-up period of 21 months (median, 11 months; range 1-46 months). Bivariate regression analysis revealed smoking (p = 0.037, Odds Ratio (OR) = 0.13), tumor thickness ≥ 5 mm (p = 0.015, OR = 17.78), orbital invasion (p = 0.018, OR = 1.00), and poor histopathological differentiation (p = 0.031, OR = 10.44) to be significant risk factors for mcSCC. CONCLUSION: Metastatic disease in cSCC is rare and risk factors for metastasis include smoking, thicker tumors, orbital tumor extension, and poor tumor differentiation. mcSCC is associated with high mortality.

Retinoblastoma associated with orbital pseudocellulitis and high-risk retinoblastoma: a study of 32 eyes.

PURPOSE: To study the correlation between retinoblastoma (RB) associated with orbital pseudocellulitis and high-risk histopathology features. METHODS: Retrospective study of 32 patients who underwent primary enucleation for RB presenting with orbital pseudocellulitis. RESULTS: All RB patients presented with orbital pseudocellulitis. The mean age at presentation of RB was 30 months (median, 24 months; range, 3-70 months). There were 14 (44%) males and 18 (56%) females. All patients were referred with a diagnosis of RB with orbital pseudocellulitis. Tumor was bilateral in 12 (38%) patients but orbital pseudocellulitis was unilateral in all cases. The pseudocellulitis features included proptosis (n = 9; 28%), eyelid edema (n = 22; 69%), conjunctival congestion (n = 23; 72%), and conjunctival chemosis (n = 15; 47%). Based on clinical features and orbital imaging, all patients were diagnosed to have group E intraocular RB. All patients received intravenous steroids prior to enucleation. On histopathology, tumor necrosis was present in all cases with a mean % necrosis of 60% (median, 60%; range, 10% to 90%). Most tumors (72%) were poorly differentiated. High-risk histopathology features were noted in 23 (72%) cases and adjuvant chemotherapy was advised for all these patients. The most common high-risk histopathology features included post-laminar optic nerve infiltration (34%) and scleral infiltration (22%). Over a mean follow-up period of 34 months (median, 9 months; range, < 1-188 months), there was no event of metastasis or death in any patient. CONCLUSION: RB presenting with orbital pseudocellulitis is associated with high incidence of high-risk histopathology features.

Ocular surface squamous neoplasia in India: a study of 438 patients.

PURPOSE: To describe the clinical features, histopathology, treatment, and outcomes of patients with ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) presenting to a referral centre in India. METHODS: Retrospective interventional study. RESULTS: Of 438 patients, the mean age at presentation was 49 years. Human immunodeficiency virus infection was noted in 72 (16%), xeroderma pigmentosum in 22 (5%), hepatitis B virus infection in 14 (3%), and systemic cancer in 8 (2%) patients. Tumor pigmentation was noted in 243 (54%) tumors with a mean percentage of tumor pigmentation of 44% (median, 40%; range, 1 to 100%). Intraocular tumor extension was noted in 12 (3%), and orbital tumor extension in 16 (4%) eyes. Of the 381 treated lesions, excisional biopsy (n = 247; 65%) was the most common treatment modality. Of the 311 lesions with histopathology diagnosis of OSSN, invasive squamous cell carcinoma (n = 92; 30%) was the most common. Over a mean follow-up period of 11 months (median, 5 months; range, 1 to 108 months) in 368 patients, tumor recurrence was noted in 16 (4%) eyes, globe salvage was achieved in 341 (90%) eyes, vision salvage in 338 (89%) eyes, regional lymph node metastasis occurred in 9 (2%), and metastasis-related death in 9 (2%) patients. CONCLUSION: Pigmented OSSN is common in Asian Indian population. Appropriate management of OSSN is associated with good vision, globe, and life salvage rates in India.

Malignant Phyllodes Tumor of the Breast With Metastasis to the Orbit: A Rare Case Report.

Phyllodes tumors are rare and account for 0.5% of all mammary neoplasms. They commonly present as lobulated breast tumors and have a variable clinical course. Histologically, phyllodes tumor is composed of 2 major elements: stromal element composed of spindle cells admixed with collagen and epithelial element in the form of epithelium lined cysts and clefts. Metastasis is rarely seen with phyllodes tumors. Sarcomatous component of phyllodes tumor metastasizes to lung, liver, adrenal, brain, and bones by hematogenous route. A thorough literature search did not reveal any report of orbital metastasis from malignant phyllodes tumor. Here, the authors describe a rare case of malignant phyllodes tumor of the breast with metastasis to the orbit in a 46-year-old female patient.

Risk factors for recurrent retinoblastoma after intravenous chemotherapy.

PURPOSE: To analyze the risk factors and estimate the risk period for tumor recurrence in intraocular retinoblastoma (RB). METHODS: Retrospective study of 60 RB patients. RESULTS: The mean age at presentation with RB was 16 months (median 11 months; range 1-84 months). Tumor was unilateral in 13 (22%) and bilateral in 47 (78%) patients. Of 83 eyes with intraocular RB, group B (n = 27; 33%) tumors were more common based on International Classification of Intraocular Retinoblastoma. All cases received intravenous chemotherapy as a primary treatment. Over a mean follow-up period of 57 months (median 38 months; range 12-185 months) post-primary treatment, 44 (73%) patients developed tumor recurrence. The mean interval between the completion of primary treatment and first tumor recurrence was 5 months (median 3 months; range 1-24 months). The total duration of treatment for complete tumor control including treatment of tumor recurrences was 20 months (median 19 months; 2-58 months). By multivariate analysis, the factors predictive of tumor recurrence were multiple tumors (p = 0.008) and retinal detachment (p = 0.003) at presentation. Kaplan-Meier estimate of tumor recurrence at 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years was 20%, 31%, 68%, and 73%, respectively. There was no tumor recurrence beyond 5 years since primary treatment. CONCLUSION: Multiple tumors and retinal detachment at presentation are risk factors for tumor recurrence in RB. Close follow-up is mandatory for at least 5 years since the initiation of treatment for RB.

Spectrum of AS-OCT features of ocular surface tumors and correlation of clinico-tomographic features with histopathology: a study of 70 lesions.

PURPOSE: To assess the correlation between clinical and anterior segment optical coherence tomographic (AS-OCT) details and histopathological changes in various ocular surface lesions. METHODS: Prospective case series of 70 lesions in 65 patients. RESULTS: AS-OCT revealed epithelial changes in OSSN (n = 19; 44%), squamous papilloma (n = 3; 60%), nevus (n = 1; 33%), epithelial hyperplasia (n = 1; 33%), granular dystrophy (n = 1; 100%) and granulation tissue (n = 1; 100%); subepithelial changes in chronic inflammation (n = 4, 100%), lymphoma (n = 3; 100%) and arteriovenous malformation (n = 1; 100%); combined epithelial and subepithelial changes in OSSN (n = 24; 56%), squamous papilloma (n = 2; 40%), PEH (n = 3; 100%), nevus (n = 2; 67%), epithelial hyperplasia (n = 2; 67%), solar elastosis (n = 1; 100%), lobular capillary hemangioma (n = 1; 100%) and sebaceous carcinoma (n = 1; 100%). Epithelial involvement on AS-OCT paralleled the histopathological findings in 98% (n = 69) and subepithelial involvement in 83% (n = 58). The correlation of clinico-tomographic diagnosis with histopathology diagnosis was seen in 77% (n = 54) lesions. Sensitivity and specificity of AS-OCT as a diagnostic tool for detection of epithelial involvement were 100% and 92% and for subepithelial involvement was 98% and 100%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The correlation between AS-OCT and histopathology features determining epithelial and subepithelial involvement is excellent. It is a useful adjunctive tool for the diagnosis of ocular surface lesions.

Comparative evaluation of clinical characteristics of biopsy-proven conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia and invasive squamous cell carcinoma using image processing software programs.

PURPOSE: To identify morphological parameters aiding clinical differentiation of conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and invasive squamous cell carcinoma (iSCC) and to demonstrate the utility of image processing software to objectively assess ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN). METHODS: This retrospective case series included all biopsy-proven cases of OSSN presenting as an ocular surface nodule. Based on histopathology, lesions were classified as CIN and iSCC. Clinical image analysis utilized 'Contour' and 'ImageJ' software. The effect of predictors demography, seropositivity, lesion dimensions, keratin, pigmentation, corneal involvement, vascularity and feeder vessels on the final histopathologic grade were assessed. RESULTS: A total of 108 OSSN lesions (74 CIN and 33 iSCC) were included. Mean age was 46.1 ± 17.2 years in CIN and 47.2 ± 13.9 years in iSCC. By univariate logistic regression analysis, significant predictors of iSCC were HIV seropositivity (p < 0.0001), maximum diameter (p = 0.003), perpendicular to maximum diameter (p = 0.003), height (p = 0.003), nodular morphology (p = 0.006) and feeder vessels (p = 0.03), whereas gelatinous morphology (p = 0.02) was predictor of CIN. By multiple logistic regression, seropositivity was the predictor of iSCC (p < 0.0001, OR 13.33 ± 8.35, 95% CI 3.90-45.53). CONCLUSION: HIV seropositivity is an important predictor of iSCC. Large, thick, nodular lesions with feeder vessels may favor the diagnosis of iSCC, whereas gelatinous, small, flatter lesions without feeder vessels may favor CIN. In a first of its kind study, simple and objective analysis of OSSN with image processing software was demonstrated.

Glaucoma as the presenting sign of intraocular tumors: beware of the masquerading sign.

PURPOSE: To discuss the clinical presentation and management of intraocular tumors masquerading as primary glaucoma or non-tumor-related secondary glaucoma. METHODS: Retrospective chart review. RESULTS: Ten patients with unsuspected intraocular tumor were referred to glaucoma clinic with a diagnosis of primary glaucoma or non-tumor-related secondary glaucoma. The mean age at referral was 25 years (median, 22 years; range, 1 day to 58 years). Referral diagnosis included neovascular glaucoma (n = 6), congenital glaucoma (n = 3), and angle-closure glaucoma (n = 1). The significant clinical signs included corneal edema (n = 3), megalocornea (n = 3), iris neovascularization (n = 4), hyphema (n = 2), and pseudohypopyon (n = 2). The mean interval between the onset of symptoms and the establishment of accurate diagnosis was 4 months (median, 3 months; range, 0.5-13 months). Two patients underwent inadvertent trabeculectomy, and one patient underwent evisceration prior to definitive diagnosis. The final diagnosis included uveal melanocytoma (n = 2), ciliary body medulloepithelioma (n = 2), choroidal melanoma (n = 2), retinoblastoma (n = 1), retinal capillary hemangioblastoma (n = 1), choroidal schwannoma (n = 1), and uveal metastasis (n = 1). The treatment modalities included plaque radiotherapy (n = 1), enucleation (n = 6), palliative systemic chemotherapy (n = 1), a combination of enucleation, systemic chemotherapy, and external beam radiotherapy (n = 1), and one patient was lost to follow-up. There was no evidence of death over a mean follow-up period of 13 months (median, 5 months; range, 2 weeks to 7 years). CONCLUSION: Unilateral raised intraocular pressure, iris neovascularization, or both may be the presenting features of intraocular tumors. High degree of suspicion and a thorough examination reveals the definitive diagnosis.

Posterior uveal melanoma in 321 Asian Indian patients: analysis based on the 8th edition of American Joint Committee Cancer classification.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the presenting features, treatment, and outcomes of posterior uveal melanoma (PUM) in Asian Indians based on the 8th edition of American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) classification. METHODS: Retrospective interventional case series of 321 Asian Indian patients with PUM. RESULTS: Based on AJCC, PUM was classified into categories T1 (n = 36; 11%), T2 (n = 74; 23%), T3 (n = 126; 39%), and T4 (n = 85; 27%). Regarding tumor features, T4 was more likely to have pre-equatorial epicenter (vs T1 and T2; p ≤ 0.011), iris abnormalities (vs T2 and T3; p ≤ 0.002), and extraocular tumor extension (vs T3; p = 0.001), whereas T1 was more likely to have macular epicenter (vs T2, T3, T4; p ≤ 0.013), lipofuscin deposits (vs T3 and T4; p ≤ 0.008), and amelanotic tumors (vs. T4; p = 0.003). On multivariate analysis, factors predictive of systemic metastasis were increasing tumor thickness (p = 0.002) and extraocular tumor extension (p = 0.009). The 5-, 10-, and 15-year melanoma-related metastases rates were 0%, 0%, and 0% in T1, 0%, 60%, and 60% in T2, 7%, 40%, and 70% in T3 and 13%, 36%, and 76% in T4, respectively. Risk for metastasis was 1.23 times more for every 1-mm increase in tumor thickness and 9 times more with extraocular tumor extension. CONCLUSION: The AJCC 8th edition provides prognostic classification for PUM in Asian Indian patients. The significant risk factors for metastasis were increasing tumor thickness and extraocular tumor extension.
