Es todo tipo de tumor que el ojo. Puede afectar los p\u00e1rpados y la piel adyacente, la \u00f3rbita (la abertura del cr\u00e1neo que alberga el ojo) y la retina. En la zona del ojo pueden aparecer melanomas y linfomas y algunos c\u00e1nceres pueden extenderse al ojo desde otras regiones del cuerpo.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Algunos tipos de c\u00e1ncer de ojo, como el retinoblastoma, afectan a ni\u00f1os peque\u00f1os, mientras que otros tipos pueden desarrollarse a cualquier edad.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Existen diferentes tipos:<\/p>\n
– Melanoma uveal que es no es frecuente, aparece en una estructura del ojo denominada \u00favea. La \u00favea contiene c\u00e9lulas productoras de pigmento (color) llamadas melanocitos. Cuando estas c\u00e9lulas se transforman en cancerosas, el c\u00e1ncer se denomina melanoma. La \u00favea se divide en tres partes: iris, cuerpo ciliar y coroides. La localizaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s habitual de este tipo de c\u00e1ncer es la coroides (melanoma coroideo), que es la parte posterior del ojo situada bajo la retina.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Los pacientes no siempre tienen s\u00edntomas en el momento del diagn\u00f3stico. Algunos experimentan p\u00e9rdida de visi\u00f3n, visi\u00f3n borrosa, destellos y moscas volantes (un objeto en el campo visual).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
– Melanoma conjuntival: c\u00e1ncer de ojo raro que afecta a la conjuntiva, el recubrimiento mucoso del p\u00e1rpado. Aunque el melanoma surge con mayor frecuencia en la piel, tambi\u00e9n puede aparecer en el interior del ojo, as\u00ed como en la superficie del ojo y los p\u00e1rpados.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Los melanomas conjuntivales suelen desarrollarse como una zona pigmentada (oscura) en la conjuntiva. El c\u00e1ncer tambi\u00e9n puede surgir a partir de una peca o nevo en la conjuntiva o aparecer sobre tejido sano.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Siempre es aconsejable acudir al oftalm\u00f3logo cada seis meses o cuando se tenga alg\u00fan problema en los ojos o en la visi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
