[Immunoscintigraphy in the diagnosis of choroid melanoma].

This study was aimed at evaluating the role of 99mTc-labelled anti-melanoma antibodies as in vivo tumor markers in the diagnosis of uveal melanomas. Usually, neither conventional semeiological techniques nor more recent diagnostic imaging methods allow a differential diagnosis to be made of benign and malignant intra-ocular tumors. Immunoscintigraphy was employed to examine 9 patients with monolateral reduction of sight, and photopsy.
