False-Positive 32P Uptake Tests

Posterior uveal melanoma

“…While the 32P uptake may be assessed transconjunctivally, this technique is usually performed transsclerally by means of an incisional approach. Repeated reports detailing false positive results combined with the development of better non-invasive procedures now make the 32P uptake test a rarely used modality in the diagnostic pursuit of posterior uveal melanoma (Shields 1978;Zakov et a]. 1978).…”
