A 66-years-old Vietnamese healthy female patient presented with prolonged severe right ocular pain and complete vision loss in that eye. Anterior segment assessment including gonioscopy identified angle-closure configuration. A suspected ciliary body melanoma was seen through the pupil. Posterior segment examination revealed a large tumor mass and 360° retinal detachment (kissing configuration). An ultrasound examination was consistent with a uveal tumor. The painful, blind right eye with a tumor mass was enucleated. Histopathology confirmed a type A uveal spindle cell melanoma associated with total serous retinal detachment without evidence of tumor necrosis, epithelioid cells, scleral, or optic nerve infiltration. There was no evidence of metastasis after 1-year of follow-up. It is critically important to differentiate primary and secondary angle closure, especially in cases with life-threatening ocular malignancy as uveal melanoma.

The effects of dibutyryl cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (BcAMP) and Sephadex G-25 fractions of chick embryo extract on the growth rate, morphology, and pigmentation of normal chick retinal pigmented epithelium (PE) were investigated. Seven cloned PE cell lines were each grown in modified Ham's F-12 medium alone (F-12), or in F-12 supplemented with either high molecular weight (H) or low molecular weight (L) fractions of chick embryo extract. Cells grown in F-12 alone or in L medium formed compact epithelial sheets, whereas cells grown in H had a fibrocytic appearance and formed poorly organized monolayers. In H plus BcAMP, cell morphology was more epithelioid than in H alone, and generally the monolayers appeared more differentiated. Under each of these three culture conditions, 2 x 10-4 M BCAMP retarded the increase in cell number and decreased the final number of cells per culture dish, but had little effect on plating efficiency. BcAMP also increased the rate of cell adhesion to a plastic substratum. Pigmentation was marked in cultures grown in F-12 or in L alone, but the addition of BcAMP dramatically reduced visible pigmentation. This effect was reversed when BcAMP was removed from the culture medium. Thus BcAMP modifies cell and colonial morphology, rate of cell accumulation, adhesive properties, and pigmentation of normal PE cells.
