All Eyes on Dermoscopy: Features of Benign Conjunctival Melanocytic Lesions
The present study provides a detailed overview of the clinical and dermoscopic characteristics of benign CML. It highlights consistent patterns such as cyst-associated reticular features and a low TBNC among affected individuals. These findings support the clinical utility of dermoscopy as a noninvasive tool for differentiating between benign and suspicious conjunctival lesions. The observed association with low TBNC may warrant increased vigilance during ocular examination in patients with few cutaneous nevi. Prospective studies with larger cohorts are needed to confirm and extend these observations.
