Intraocular Melanoma (Uveal Melanoma)

Intraocular melanoma is the most common primary eye cancer in adults, originating from melanocytes in the uveal tract (iris, ciliary body, or choroid). It is distinct from skin melanoma but shares similar cellular origins.

Yolk Sac Tumor (Endodermal Sinus Tumor)

Yolk sac tumor (YST), also known as endodermal sinus tumor, is a malignant germ cell tumor that arises from primitive germ cells resembling the yolk sac during embryonic development. It is most common in children and young adults, affecting the testes in males and ovaries in females, though it can also occur in extragonadal sites such as the mediastinum, retroperitoneum, or sacrococcygeal region.
Yolk sac tumors are highly aggressive but often chemosensitive, and modern treatments have significantly improved survival rates.

Esophageal Cancer

Esophageal cancer begins in the esophagus, the muscular tube that carries food from the throat to the stomach. It is an aggressive cancer, often diagnosed at a late stage. There are two major types:
• Adenocarcinoma: typically starts in the lower esophagus; associated with Barrett’s esophagus and GERD
• Squamous cell carcinoma: usually found in the upper or middle esophagus; linked to smoking and alcohol use

Astrocytoma

Astrocytoma is a type of brain tumor that originates from astrocytes, the star-shaped glial cells in the brain and spinal cord that support and nourish neurons. Astrocytomas are part of a broader category known as gliomas and are classified based on their grade (I to IV), which reflects how fast the tumor grows and how likely it is to spread.

Grade I (Pilocytic Astrocytoma): Typically benign and slow-growing, often seen in children.
Grade II (Diffuse Astrocytoma): Infiltrative, slow-growing but may progress.
Grade III (Anaplastic Astrocytoma): Malignant, faster-growing.
Grade IV (Glioblastoma): Most aggressive form.

Osteosarcoma

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone cancer, usually originating in the long bones (e.g., femur, tibia, humerus). It most commonly affects children, adolescents, and young adults, particularly during growth spurts.

Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs)

Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are a group of chronic blood cancers where the bone marrow makes too many red cells, white cells, or platelets. They are linked to mutations in genes such as JAK2, CALR, and MPL, and may remain stable for years or progress to myelofibrosis or acute leukemia.

The three main types of classic MPNs are:
• Polycythemia vera (PV) – too many red blood cells
• Essential thrombocythemia (ET) – too many platelets
• Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) – scarring of the bone marrow

Secondary Eye Metastases

Secondary eye metastases are cancers that spread to the eye from other primary sites, most commonly the breast, lung, prostate, kidney, and gastrointestinal tract. These are the most frequent intraocular malignancies in adults, typically affecting the choroid.
