“…No tumour mass was identified macroscopically in the enucleated specimen and the diagnosis was only established by microscopy. This case has similarities to the diffuse malignant melanomas reported by Brown et al  18 and Spaulding et al 19. Ring tumours with unusual histology, including T cell lymphoma20 and borderline spindle cell naevus,21 have also been described.…”

“…3 Conversely, iris melanomas, although less frequent, have a good prognosis and only rarely metastasise. 4 Uveal melanomas have been well characterised by cytogenetic studies, owing largely to their relatively simple karyotypes and ease of culture. Cytogenetic studies on posterior uveal melanoma have revealed the presence of recurrent primary aberrations, including loss of chromosome 3 and gain of chromosome 8q.…”

“…7 There are a number of reports of malignant melanoma showing infiltration of marrow. [7][8][9][22][23][24] Bone marrow involvement is not common in malignant melanoma cases. Although cases of nondermal malignant melanoma associated with bone marrow infiltration have been described in the literature, [10][11][12][13][14] there were no reports of primary ovarian malignant melanoma cases in whom bone marrow involvement was identified.…”
