Abstract

In a brief communication two patients (a woman aged 68 years and a man aged 46 years) are described who, in all probability, presented clinically a choroid melanoblastoma. These patients only received regular control examinations and refused all therapeutic interventions. In both cases, a zone of scarification surrounding the tumor is visible, and, in one patient, the tumor has grown clearly less prominent in the course of the years.
