The first part of this thesis summarizes the current literature on small choroidal melanomas (CMs). Although the aetiology of this disease remains unknown, many risk factors have been reported. Differentiation from the more common choroidal naevi is generally clinical, and several typical characteristics of the malignant tumour have been used as a diagnostical tool. When the differentiation cannot be made clinically or by biopsy, the remaining option is to observe for growth that signals malignancy. Small posterior tumours, in particular, have frequently been observed for growth because treatment would most likely affect vision. However, observation before treatment might increase the risk for metastases. Small CMs are typically treated...
