Abstract
Herein we describe a case of intraocular melanoma in a17-year old leukemic patient. The history, histological findings of the enucleated eye, blood and bone marrow of the patient were investigated. The enucleated eye contained epitheloid cell type melanoma instead of leukemic cell infiltration. We conclude that intraocular malignant melanoma can occur in acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
