Intraocular metastases from cutaneous malignant melanoma

We present a consecutive series of ten patients (12 eyes) with symptomatic
intraocular metastases from primary cutaneous malignant melanoma, with
emphasis on the variation in clinical features and extent of intraocular
involvement. An investigation of each patient's history and the presence of
other concurrent metastatic foci help to establish the diagnosis.
Palliative radiation therapy may help to control the intraocular metastatic
foci and limit the visual loss.
