Zusammenfassung

Der Beitrag stellt den Fall eines kornealen malignen Melanoms nach stumpfem Bulbustrauma mit Hornhauterosio vor. Eine 67-jährige Patientin entwickelte 6 Jahre nach einer persistierenden Erosio einen prominenten Hornhauttumor an gleicher Stelle. Die histologische Untersuchung wies ein malignes Melanom nach. Der Fall belegt die seltene Komplikation einer Epithelialisierungsstörung mit maligner Entartung und Entwicklung eines Melanoms.

Abstract

We report the case of a 67-year-old woman who presented with a persisting corneal erosion after blunt injury. Six years later, a highly prominent corneal tumor had developed at the site of the initial erosion. Histological analysis revealed a malignant melanoma. This case provides evidence that malignant melanoma may be a long-term complication of corneal epithelial disorders.
