Abstrakt: 542 cases of choroidal malignant melanoma were reviewed. Local recurrence occurred in only 6 patients (1.11%). Five of the 6 patients had distant metastases when the local recurrence was diagnosed, and the remaining patient also developed metastases after a passage of time. These figures do not support the concept of withholding a primary implant at the time of enucleation.
