Journal Title: IP International Journal of Ocular Oncology and Oculoplasty - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Melanoma is a malignant pigmented lesion with a prevalence of approximately 1 per 2 million in European population. Conjunctival melanomas make up less than two percent of all ocular malignancies. They are rare in black and Asian population. Melanocytic tumors of conjunctiva range from benign nevi and primary acquired Melanesia (PAM) to invasive malignant melanomas (MM).[1] Wereporta 54 year old male with multi-focal conjunctival pigmented lesion in the background of diffuse PAM.
