Abstract:
Primary acquired conjunctival melanosis presents as a unilateral conjunctival pigmentation, mostly in middle-aged patients, with a strong tendency to progress to malignancy. The clinical picture is specific and doesn't cause major diagnostic problems. It is important to recognize the entity, to observe it closely and treat it early and adequately.
