English
intraocular melanomadefinition: eye cancer that arises in melanin-producing cells of one of the parts of the uvea: the iris, the ciliary body or the choroid. Symptoms, which are generally found during a routine eye examination, include a dark spot in the iris or blurry vision, which is usual in melanomas in the ciliary body or choroid. The treatments used for intraocular melanoma include surgery, radiation therapy, and photocoagulation. It is a very rare cancer, but the most common form of eye cancer. (en)
