Conjunctival Melanoma: A Case Presentation

Conjunctival melanoma is an uncommon tumor that is likely to recur and carries an overall mortality rate of approximately 30%. Melanoma   arises from melanocytes, most often in sun-exposed skin. Less commonly, melanoma originates from other tissues such as the uvea, rectum, mouth, respiratory tract, and conjunctiva. Conjunctival melanoma represents only 1.6% of all noncutaneous melanoma. Herein, we reported a case of conjunctival melanoma followed by reviewing the literature to provide an optimal diagnostic approach.
