title: A case of quiescent choroidal melanoma: early echographic signs of reactivation.
abstract: A medium-sized choroidal melanoma was studied during a 5-year phase of remission. The tumour presented signs of reactivation with changes in the echographic features without a significant increase in size. The echographic signals in the reactivation phase and the echographic evolution after treatment are described.
