The hepatic scintigraphy was practiced for 56 patients and had shown for 8 cases hepatic metastasis. The histopathological exam of the melanomata of ciliary and choroidal corpus had shown type A fusiform cells for 22 cases, type B for 43 cases, epithelioid cells for 6 cases and mixed type cells for 13 cases. The hepatic metastasis were epithelioid cells for all the cases and, for 2 cases there were with mixed type cells, It is necessary an active discovering of intraocular and episcleral malign tumours, for increasing the chance of an earlier diagnosis during a stadium that would be able to be treated as conservator as possible be.
