[The echography of ocular tumours and their microscopic architecture (author's transl)].

The echography of ocular tumours (7 malignant melanomas and 2 metastatic tumours) is presented in correlation with their microscopic architecture. A metastatic tumour presenting echographic characteristics typical of malignant melanoma was considered as such at the ultrasound test. All 7 malignant tumours were diagnosed through the ultrasound test, but it was impossible to foretell a predominant type of cell.
