Abstract
Purpose:
This study aimed to present the clinical and histopathological features of a pigmented spindle cell naevus (PSCN) appearing in the conjunctiva.
Methods:
Histopathological examination of the lesion following excision and review of the pertinent literature.
Results:
The features were consistent with those previously recognized in the skin as the PSCN of Reed.
Conclusion:
The PSCN can appear in the conjunctiva and should not be confused with conjunctival melanoma.
