Cytogenetic investigation of untreated uveal melanoma has shown that the most frequent abnormality is monosomy 3, which occurs in approximately 60% of cases. One of our cases showed distinct pigmented and nonpigmented areas at gross dissection; representative tissue was collected separately from eac

Posterior uveal melanomas have nonrandom alterations affecting chromosomes 3, 6, and 8. Loss of chromosome 3 in uveal melanoma has been shown to act as a predictor of disease-free and overall survival. To confirm the significance of chromosome 3 loss and to extend the observations to include those o
