Unresectable hepatic metastatic uveal melanoma

Unresectable hepatic metastatic uveal melanoma is an advanced, life-threatening clinical stage of ocular melanoma characterized by hematogenous dissemination of malignant intraocular melanocytes to the hepatic parenchyma that cannot be completely eradicated by surgical resection

This condition primarily affects adults diagnosed with primary uveal melanoma, an intraocular malignancy with a pronounced tropism for the liver, which is the initial or dominant site of metastasis in up to 90% of advanced cases Clinical manifestations include upper abdominal discomfort, hepatomegaly, fatigue, and progressive liver dysfunction, which frequently leads to hepatic failure as the primary cause of disease-related mortality

Pathophysiologically, the tumor cells form diffuse, infiltrative, or multifocal liver lesions that progressively disrupt normal hepatic architecture and vascular flow
