title: [On malignant melanoma of the cornea and its treatment (author's transl)].
abstract: A report is given of an amelanotic malignant malanoma of the cornea without previous changes in the cornea and without any connection with the limbus. Treatment was by simple removal after cauterisation of the nutrient vessels coming from the conjunctiva. Histologically, alongside naevoid cell structures were seen epithelioid to anaplastic cells a striking wealth of plasma cells, which were in places so numerous as the melanoma cells and diffusely or like streets infiltrated them.
