Xenon-arc photocoagulation of medium-sized malignant melanomas

Sixteen cases of medium-sized malignant melanomas were treated with xenon-arc photocoagulation. Early follow-up results are encouraging. Only minimal complications were encountered, and there was no evidence of metastasis. Meticulous follow-up of ocular malignant melanoma patients is strongly suggested, especially in cases in which the tumor is situated in the posterior pole.
