Uveal melanoma is a type of eye cancer in the uvea of the eye. [4] It is traditionally classed as originating in the iris , choroid , and ciliary body , but can also be divided into class I (low metastatic risk) and class II (high metastatic risk). [ 4 ]
Ocular melanosis (OM) is a blue-gray and/or brown lesion of the conjunctiva that can be separated into benign conjunctival epithelial melanosis (BCEM) and primary acquired melanosis (PAM), of which the latter is considered a risk factor for uveal melanoma. [1]
Melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin cancer; it develops from the melanin-producing cells known as melanocytes. [1] It typically occurs in the skin, but may rarely occur in the mouth, intestines, or eye (uveal melanoma). [1] [2] In women, melanomas most commonly occur on the legs; while in men, on the back.

An eye neoplasm is a tumor of the eye. [1] A rare type of tumor, [2] eye neoplasms can affect all parts of the eye, and can either be benign or malignant , in which case it is known as eye cancer. [3] Eye cancers can be primary (starts within the eye) or metastatic cancer (spread to the eye from another organ

DecisionDx-UM is a prognostic test that accurately determines the metastatic risk associated with ocular melanoma tumors of the eye. Ocular melanoma is a term commonly used to describe tumors of the uveal tract such as uveal melanoma, choroidal melanoma, ciliary body melanoma, and iris melanoma. The DecisionDx-UM test was clinically validated ...
Choroidal nevus (plural: nevi) is a type of eye neoplasm that is classified under choroidal tumors as a type of benign (non-cancerous) melanocytic tumor. [1] A choroidal nevus can be described as an unambiguous pigmented blue or green-gray choroidal lesion, found at the front of the eye, around the iris, [2] or the rear end of the eye.
