title: Trifocal uveal melanoma.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report the singular case of a patient who developed three noncontiguous uveal melanomas over a 30-year period.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Systemic evaluation of a 50-year-old man with an iris melanoma and bilateral choroidal melanomas disclosed no evidence of metastases or other primary neoplastic disease.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Although rare, the possibility of bilateral and multifocal uveal melanoma should be recognized.
