Ocular Melanoma-Eye Cancer
Ocular melanoma is melanoma of the eye. Melanoma is a cancer that develops from cells called melanocytes. Melanocytes produce the dark-coloured pigment melanin, which is responsible for the colour of our skin. These cells are found in many places in our body, including the skin, hair, and lining of the internal organs, including the eye. Most melanomas begin to grow in the skin, but it is also possible for a melanoma to begin in other parts of the body, such as the eye. http://www.allmedicaldiseases.com/eye-cancer.html |
