TitelConjunctival melanoma in non-Caucasian patients
Abstract Nr.P116
DoelTo describe four cases of conjunctival melanoma in non-Caucasian patients.
MethodesIn the literature no non-Caucasian patients with conjunctival melanomas are found.
ResultatenWe present cases of conjunctival melanomas in two patients from Indonesian descendence, one Indian and one Moroccan patient.
ConclusieAlthough the vast majority of non-Caucasian patients with pigmented lesions of the conjunctiva do not develop a melanoma, these cases illustrate that conjunctival melanoma can occur in non-Caucasian patients. Lesions thicker than one millimeter, and non-limbal tumors should be carefully examined.
