The bilateral occurrence of a malignant melanoma of the uveal tract is of sufficient rarity to warrant a short report. Schies-Gemuseus1has reported such a case as did Landsburg.2Carter3reported bilateral malignant melanomata of the irides. Similar cases were seen by Dixon4and Hirschberg.5However, in all these cases the tumor in the fellow eye was not proven histologically. The first proven bilateral case was that of Shine6in which the choroid and iris were involved respectively; Cordes and Cook7reported a similar case with histological proof. A. B. Reese,8in his book, mentions having seen one such case of bilateral melanomata of the uveal tract. In Landsburg's case, the melanomata occurred simultaneously. In Dixon's case, the interval was six months; in Hirschberg's case, one year; and in Shine's case, three years. Cordes and Cook's case was interesting in that, inKeywords
