Echography is crucial in making a diagnosis of malignant melanoma when ocular media are opaque. Even with clear ocular media, standardized echography is important to confirm or to rule out a malignant melanoma in the eye. In this study the reflectivity in 27 cases of malignant melanomas has been evaluated and compared to cell type, pigmentation and number and size of blood vessels. No significant correlations have been found.
