title: [Intraocular metastases of primary malignant melanoma of the skin. Observation of 4 cases (author's transl)].
abstract: 4 cases with intraocular metastases of primary skin melanoma are described. In 2 patients the diagnose could be confirmed by histological examination of the primary skin tumor and the involved eye. The poor prognosis of patients suffering from melanotic intraocular metastases indicates only a palliative ophthalmological treatment.
