Abstract
A case is presented of a 55-year-old Caucasian male whose right eye was enucleated for a mixed spindle-A and spindle-B malignant melanoma in 1967. The ophthalmoscopic picture, fluorescein angiography, and overlying peculiar orange pigmentation were suggestive of a malignant lesion. Study of serial sections of the entire lesion made possible the histologic reconstruction of the lesion, clinicopathologic correlation of the yellow-orange pigment, and the location of the nevus and mixed spindle-cell melanoma components.
