title: Ocular melanoma in families with dysplastic nevus syndrome.
abstract: Five families with the dysplastic nevus syndrome, in each of which one member had ocular melanoma, are reported. These five families were examined within a 3-year period in one medical center. To date only five other families with such a combination have been reported. We suggest a causal relation between ocular melanoma and the familial dysplastic nevus syndrome.
