Ocular metastases from systemic melanoma.
We studied two patients, a 72-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman, with metastatic melanoma documented by cytologic examination of the ocular fluids. Neither patient had a clinically detectable ocular mass. Fine-needle aspiration with cytologic examination may be useful in the diagnosis of metastatic ocular melanoma.
