ABSTRACT
The paper analyzes outpatient cards of 415 patients who underwent enucleation for uveal melanoma (UM) in 1962-2008 and who have been registered in the Moscow City Ophthalmology Center since 1990. The patients' mean age was 58.94 +/-1.29 years. During the follow-up, 56 patients died 5.24 +/- 1.84 years postoperatively. The distribution of UM by the histological types was as follows spindle cell (n = 275; 66.27%); mixed cell (n = 100; 24.09%), and epithelioid cell (n = 26; 6.27%) UM. Eleven (2.65%) patients were diagnosed as having necrotic melanoma. Poor (preequatorial and juxtapapillary) position was observed in 35.4% of the patients. Mortality in patients with UM after enucleation was 14.44% with a life expectancy of 5.24 +/- 1.84 years. The findings make it possible to recommend that an enucleation procedure should be developed, by concurrently forming a locomotor stump, which promotes the improvement of the results of individual cosmetic prosthetics in patients with UM that is not to undergo organ-saving treatment.
