Metastasis of Conjunctival Melanoma to the Cardiac Atrium: A Case Report.

The authors present an unreported case of malignant conjunctival melanoma with metastasis to the right cardiac atrium. A 67-year-old woman with history of conjunctival melanoma of the OS presented with asymptomatic recurrence with new extension to the fornix. Surgical management was planned; however, the patient was admitted to the hospital with symptoms of heart and respiratory failure. She was found to have a large mass in the right atrium. The mass was resected and was found to be metastatic conjunctival melanoma. The patient received chemotherapy and her symptoms have improved. This case highlights the high recurrence rate of conjunctival melanoma and the importance of tumor surveillance.
