Pigmented melanocytic lesions of the conjunctiva--a new approach to their classification

Abstract

We report a series of 23 malignant melanomas and 24 cases of benign and premalignant lesions of the conjunctiva and propose a new classification of non-nevoid pigmented benign, premalignant and malignant melanocytic lesions. The question of prognostic features in conjunctival melanoma is briefly discussed.
