- Description
- Spindle A melanomas are composed of cohesive cells with small, spindle-shaped nuclei containing a dark stripe contributed by a nuclear fold. The nuclei are not distinct. The cytoplasm is ill-defined, and the cell borders are not easily identified. They comprise approximately 5 percent of ciliary body and choroidal melanomas.
