Trifocal uveal melanoma.
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.
