Uveal malignant melanoma is uncommon both in children and in black patients. There has been only one previous report of this type of tumor occurring in a black child. This paper presents the case history of a 5-year-old black girl who presented with a mass arising from the ciliary body and choroid. This was found to be a malignant melanoma on histological examination. The difficulties in diagnosis are discussed and the histological features presented.
