In contrast, conjunctival melanoma in children is extremely uncommon. Case: A 14-year-old boy presented with a pigmented mass of bulbar conjunctiva in his right eye. Observations: Surgical excision was performed and pathological examination showed his conjunctival tumor was malignant melanoma. Thereafter his tumor was treated by extended resection and cryotherapy. After the second operation, no abnormal findings have been detected. Conclusion: Even in younger age, pigmented conjunctival regions may sometimes be malignant. Therefore, we should consider this possibility and evaluate such patients very carefully. Combined management with surgery andcryotherapy may be effective for conjunctival melanoma in children., 弘前医学. 55(1), 2003, 23-28}, pages = {23--28}, title = {A Case of Conjunctival Malignant Melanoma Effectively Treated by Tumor Resection and Cryotherapy in a 14-Year-Old Boy}, volume = {55}, year = {2003} }
