Current Management of Conjunctival Melanoma Part 1: Clinical Features, Diagnosis and Histopathology

Journal Title: Turkish Journal of Ophthalmology - Year 2020, Vol 50, Issue 5

Abstract

Conjunctival melanoma is a rare disease which makes up approximately 5% of ocular melanomas. The lesion may occur de novo or originate from a pre-existing nevus or primary acquired melanosis. Biomicroscopy is of paramount importance in diagnosis and follow-up of the disease, while other diagnostic modalities serve as supplementary tools. Many clinical and histopathological risk factors have been reported for prognosis. This review aims to address the clinical findings, differential diagnosis, diagnostic tools, prognostic factors, and staging of this disease.
