[Scanning electron microscopy in malignant uveal melanomas (author's transl)].
Four malignant uveal melanomas, of which two were of fascicular (subtype B) type one of epithelioid type and one of mixed-type, were examined under a scanning electron microscope. Within the tumors, we can distinguish cells having long cytoplasmatic processes and cells without processes, which correspond to the fusiform and epithelioid cells respectively. The cells also show a more or less marked development of the microvillosities of the cell surface.
