The Uvea consists of the layer and structures of the eye beneath the white of the eye (sclera). It has 3 parts:
1) Iris
2) Ciliary body
3) Choroid
The uveal tract is the middle layer of the eye, divided into the anterior uvea (iris, ciliary body) and posterior uvea (choroid).
So coding C69.4X could be appropriate for Uveal melanoma instead of C69.9X series (Eye ball). Any Suggestion!!! Please share your thoughts.
