Intraocular and Episcleral Melanoma Treated with Beta Radiation (¹⁰⁶Ru/¹⁰⁶Rh)

Abstract

A 28-year-old woman was treated with beta radiation to a growing episcleral pigmented lesion. 5 years later she developed a choroidal melanoma in the same segment. The recurrent episcleral tumor was excised and proved to be a malignant melanoma. The choroidal tumor was successfully treated with beta radiation.
