[On the pathology of ocular malignant melanoma (author's transl)].

From pertinent cases a contribution to the pathology of melanoma is published here. The histological structure of melanoma in the various eye tissues is dependent on the properties of the tissue in which the melanoma grows. By means of an example we have tried to throw light on the question of the differential diagnosis between a primary tumor and a metastatic deposit, although a single case cannot be used as proof. An intraocular degenerate melanoma and a melanomametastasis in the conjunctiva after a skin tumor are also demonstrated.
