[The role of bulb echography in the diagnosis of malignant melanoma of the choroid (author's transl)].
The combined A- and B-scan echography reliably separates intraocular melanoma from other intraocular lesion. This is showed by the analysis of 79 cases with clinically certain or possible melanoma during the last three years. In all 33 enucleated eyes the histology proved the echographic diagnosis of melanoma to be correct.
