Radiologic and Histopathologic Correlation of Different Growth Patterns of Metastatic Uveal Melanoma to the Liver.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to correlate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiographic results with histopathologic growth patterns of metastatic uveal melanoma (UM) to the liver.

Design

Clinicopathologic correlation.

Participants

Patients with metastatic UM to the liver.

Methods

A retrospective review of MRI images of patients with metastatic UM to the liver at a single institution between 2004 and 2016 was performed. The MRI growth patterns were classified as nodular or diffuse. The histopathologic findings of core liver biopsies of liver metastases identified by needle localization in a subset of these patients were reviewed. The core samples were evaluated by routine light microscopy, including immunohistochemical/immunofluorescent staining for CD
