Overview
Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of uveal melanoma. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of uveal melanoma include low reflectivity, vascularity inside the tumor, and acoustic hollowing. it can differentiate ciliary body cyst from tumor in lesions larger than 3 mm.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of uveal melanoma. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of uveal melanoma include:[1]
- Differentiating ciliary body cyst from tumor in lesions larger than 3 mm
- Low reflectivity
- Vascularity inside the tumor
- Acoustic hollowing
- Collar button shape
