Dermoscopy for the Diagnosis of Conjunctival Lesions

Elisa Cinotti et al. Dermatol Clin. 2018 Oct.

Abstract

This article describes the present literature on dermoscopy of conjunctiva and shows the results of a dermoscopy study of 147 conjunctival tumors. Melanomas were characterized by a heavy pigmentation, irregular dots, and a higher prevalence of gray color compared with nevi. Squamous cell carcinomas had peculiar hairpin and glomerular vessels. Primary acquired melanoses were characterized by regularly distributed light brown dots. A large part of nevi had small cysts.

Keywords: Conjunctiva; Dermoscopy; Eye; Lesion; Melanoma; Nevus; Squamous cell carcinoma; Tumor.
