Abstract

Multiple primary malignant tumors are one of the complex and insufficiently studied problems of clinical oncology. Over the past decade, an annual increase in the number of patients with polyneoplasia has been observed worldwide, which is associated with an increase in the overall oncological morbidity, improved diagnosis, good results in the treatment of oncological pathology and an increase in the life expectancy of patients. In the literature resources there are few data on the combination of uveal melanoma with other malignant tumors. Uveal melanoma is a rare type of melanoma, but among intraocular tumors it takes the leading place in terms of its incidence rate. Despite the successful local treatment, the prognosis for the patients remains unfavourable due to the high metastatic tumor potential. The article describes a clinical case of multiple primary malignant tumors one of which was uveal melanoma, which determined the prognosis of the patient.
