Conjunctival melanoma with pronounced central corneal invasion: One-year relapse free follow-up
Most conjunctival melanomas with corneal affection reach a radial corneal involvement of 1 mm. The here reported case accounted for 4 mm, which is seldom and therefore an important report. Surgical excision followed by intraoperative and postoperative mitomycin c exposure was a successful primary treatment. Currently there are no signs of tumor relapse in any part of the eye or the organism 12 months after excision. However, the long-term follow-up needs to be awaited.
