Uveal melanoma incidentally diagnosed with neuroimaging, a case series of 3 patients

Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy and can occur in the choroid, the ciliary body, or the iris. It is most often diagnosed based on clinical examination by an ophthalmologist. Nearly all patients present with visual symptoms. Characteristic findings on clinical examinat...
