Abstract

The authors report a patient with nonsimultaneous choroidal and cutaneous melanomas. The patient did not display the dysplastic nevus syndrome phenotype, and there was a negative family history for cutaneous or uveal melanomas. This sporadic case might suggest a common etiologic factor in the pathogenesis of multicentric malignant melanomas.
