Choroidal melanoma growth patterns.

Choroidal melanoma growth patterns.

Thirty patients with choroidal melanoma in whom tumour thickness was found to increase on serial examination were retrospectively studied. Often when tumours started to increase in thickness, after a period of relative quiescence, the growth rate was relatively rapid. Increased tumour thickness was associated with increased tumour growth. During the phase of active tumour growth the height of t...

Patterns of tumor initiation in choroidal melanoma.

This study attempts to document the occurrence of tumors with respect to clock hour location and distance from the macula and to evaluate tumor location in relation to retinal topography and light dose distribution on the retinal sphere. Analysis of patterns of tumor initiation may provide new evidence to clarify the controversy regarding the possible light-related etiology of choroidal melanom...
