What complications does melanoma usually cause?

Melanoma may be the first disease most people have heard of. In fact, melanoma is also a relatively common disease in life. If melanoma is not cured in time, it is easy to cause adverse consequences. Next, let's tell you what are the complications of melanoma .

1. Patients with localized melanoma can see local bulges in the fundus in the early stage, and flat masses of grayish white, blue-gray, brownish yellow, and dark brown can be seen on the retina. Once the melanoma tumor breaks through the glass membrane and enters the retina, retinal detachment will occur. Initially, it is a solid detachment, which is hemispherical and mushroom-shaped, with clear surrounding boundaries and wrinkles on the surrounding retina. The retinal detachment of patients with advanced melanoma is significantly enlarged. In the early stage of diffuse melanoma patients, there is no obvious bulge in the fundus. Since the glass membrane is mostly intact and the retina is rarely affected, there are sometimes only a few old retinal choroidal lesions in the fundus, which are easy to be ignored. Therefore, this is one of the complications of melanoma.

2. Complications of melanoma may also manifest as normal or low intraocular pressure at the beginning. As the malignant melanoma grows, the lens and iris are pushed forward by the tumor, blocking the anterior chamber angle. The symptoms of melanoma can cause aqueous humor circulation disorders, increased intraocular pressure, and secondary glaucoma.

3. In the enlarged head of malignant melanoma, enlarged blood vessels can sometimes be vaguely seen in the tumor tissue. Sometimes, spontaneous intraocular hemorrhage may occur as a complication of melanoma.

4. Due to the stimulation of toxins in malignant melanoma tissue, complications of melanoma may occur such as uveitis and optic neuritis.

The above is a detailed description of the complications of melanoma. I hope it can help everyone understand the knowledge of melanoma in this regard and cure melanoma in time. If you have other questions about melanoma, you can contact our online experts to answer your questions.
