Journal Title: Perspectives In Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Pigmented naevi or moles are extremely common lesions which are often flat or slightly elevated lesions, rarely they may be papillomatous or pedunculated. Most naevi appear in adolescence and in early adulthood due to hormonal influence but rarely may be present at birth.They are mostly tan to brown and less than 1cm in size.There are many histological variants of naevi like lentigo, junctional naevus, blue naevus, intradermal naevus and compound naevus. Naevi can be seen in any part of the body including conjunctiva. But bilateral presentation is very rare. Conjunctival naevi are common pigmented or non pigmented lesions usually presenting as grey,gelatinous,brown or black,flat or slightly raised nodules on the bulbar conjunctiva,mostly near the limbus. Here we present a case of bilateral conjunctival naevus in a young female which is a rare condition.
