[Malignant melanoma of the choroid or metastasis? An echographic differential diagnosis (author's transl)]. 1980

W Hauff, and P Till

The echografic criteria for a differential diagnosis between malignant melanoma of the choroid and a metastasis are described. In particular, the reflectivity of these lesions differs, so that malignant melanoma can be diagnosed with a high degree of accuracy, even in cases with primary tumors where a metastasis in the choroid is suspected.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.
