title: Malignant melanoma of the uveal tract--a review of the Auckland experience.
abstract: Ninety-three cases of malignant melanoma of the uveal tract diagnosed in Auckland between April 1960 and July 1984 were reviewed to determine the significant pathological factors for predicting prognosis. Six factors correlating with outcome were: extension of the tumour into and through sclera or into optic nerve, tumour size, cell type, mitotic rate, pigmentation, vascularity.
