20. Uveal melanomas can be detected by ophthalmologic exam, fluorescein angiography , or sonography.

21. Five people a day are diagnosed with malignant melanomas. It is a killer and affects more people here than in Australia.

22. The most frequent malignant nodules are metastatic melanomas . Metastases from lymphoma and lung, breast, ovary, and colon cancer are less common (Figure 17 ).

23. This study shows the value of clinical follow-up of high-risk patients to detect early thin melanomas.

24. Methods: Standardized A-scan and B-scan were used to examine 5 cases of choroidal hemangiomas and 4 cases of choroidal malignant melanomas.

25. Mutations affecting Q209 in GNA11 were present in 7% of blue nevi, 32% of primary uveal melanomas, and 57% of uveal melanoma metastases.

26. Irregularly shaped brown or blue spots in the nail bed can be melanomas.

28. The most critical questions raised by the McCain documents concern his four melanomas.

29. Of the cases identified on the campaign day in 2008, more than 3000 were basal cell carcinomas (non-melanomas) and 354 were malignant melanomas, the most deadly type of skin cancer.

30. We have previously described distinctive patterns of elastic fibers in nevi and in melanomas.

31. The records show that Army pathologists would have classified one of his melanomas as more severe than his own doctors did.

32. The scientists discovered that for melanomas that only occurred on one side of the body, 52 per cent of those cases were on the left side.

33. So dermatologists should inspect scalps for melanomas, and beachgoers should wear wide-brimmed hats.

34. Malignant melanomas, seen mostly on the skin, originate mainly from epithelial melanocytes and some originate from chromatophore nevus and dermis.

35. Of those 60,000 deaths, an estimated 48,000 are caused by malignant melanomas, and 12,000 by skin carcinomas.

36. Results:By microscopy, malignant melanomas were composed of epithelioid, spindle, small, signet ring, balloon and rhabdomyoid cells.

37. Although the results are not due to be published until later this year, Dr Ali describes them as "very encouraging" and similar to those achieved in melanomas.

38. Lymphomas, leukemias, malignant melanomas, sarcomas all begin with that microscopic accident, a mutation in one cell: omnis cellula e cellula e cellula.

39. Mutations affecting R183 in either GNAQ or GNA11 were less prevalent (2% of blue nevi and 6% of uveal melanomas) than the Q209 mutations.

40. Malignant melanomas, other cancers and conditions are the consequence of not taking the proper precautions(http:///melanomas.html)," added Dr Leitner.

41. Melanomas appear as a mole or freckle that changes colour, size or shape, but are the most dangerous type of skin cancer.

42. Small cell carcinomas usually do not show large prominent nucleoli, whereas melanomas often do, accompanied by occasional intranuclear pseudoinclusions.

43. Other types, such as adenocarcinomas, lymphomas and melanomas, may also occur.
