Conjunctival metastasis as initial sign of disseminated cutaneous melanoma.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:To describe a patient with conjunctival metastasis as the initial manifestation of metastasis from a cutaneous melanoma. DESIGN:Single interventional case report. METHODS:A 48-year-old woman with a history of cutaneous axillary melanoma developed a rapidly growing conjunctival mass. Subsequent systemic evaluation disclosed asymptomatic liver metastasis. The conjunctival lesion was resected. RESULTS:Histopathologic evaluation of the conjunctival tumor disclosed an epithelioid cell melanoma located in the conjunctival stroma, without appreciable junctional activity, compatible with metastatic melanoma. CONCLUSIONS:Conjunctival metastasis from cutaneous melanoma can rarely be the initial manifestation of disseminated melanoma.
