ABSTRACT
Uveal melanoma (UM) is uncommon in African Americans. Owing to its rarity, UM may not be suspected in African Americans leading to delayed diagnosis. In addition, socioeconomic factors may also play a role in delayed diagnosis. Clinical and ultrasonographic features may be atypical due to racial pigmentation, necessitating diagnostic fine needle aspiration biopsy. Herein, we report an illustrative case series of 12 African Americans with UM highlighting clinical features and diagnostic challenges.
