Abstract :
Herein we describe a case of intraocular melanoma in a17-year old
leukemic patient. The history, histological findings of the enucleated
eye, blood and bone marrow of the patient were investigated.
The enucleated eye contained epitheloid cell type melanoma instead
of leukemic cell infiltration. We conclude that intraocular malignant
melanoma can occur in acute lymphoblastic leukemia
