Morphometric measurements of nucleoli were done on uveal melanomas from surviving and nonsurviving patients. The melanomas were embedded in paraffin and plastic, and measurement data from Papanicolaou-stained paraffin-embedded sections, toluidine blue-stained plastic-embedded sections and scanning transmission electron micrographs (STEM) of plastic-embedded sections were compared. The results showed that one parameter, the coefficient of variation (CV) of nucleolar area, correctly classified 80% of the cases as to survival when plastic-embedded material was used and 70% of the cases when paraffin-embedded material or STEM micrographs were used. The inverse standard deviation of the nucleolar area was a better predictor of outcome than was the CV of nucleolar area only in the paraffin-embedded sections. The nucleolar measurements were most easily and rapidly performed in the plastic-embedded sections.
