Abstract

We report the case histories of three patients with untreated malignant melanoma of the choroid or ciliary body. Metastatic disease which resulted in death was diagnosed four years in two patients and 13 years in one patient after the diagnosis of choroidal melanoma was suspected. The diagnosis of malignant melanoma was confirmed by histopathology in two of these patients.
