Predisposing factors in conjunctival melanoma in a south Indian population and its management - A retrospective interventional case series
Conjunctival melanoma is an uncommon malignancy particularly in the pigmented races. We report an interesting association of risk factors involved in this rare tumour in a South Indian population. A retrospective, interventional case series of three patients diagnosed with conjunctival melanoma on the basis of clinical and histopathological evaluations between the year 2017 and 2022. Among the three patients, one patient had Xeroderma pigmentosa, one patient had carcinoma of the ovary and one patient had a pre-existing nevus. Conjunctival melanoma is a rare tumour in pigmented races and Xeroderma pigmentosa, pre-existing nevus and another malignancy predispose to a conjunctival melanoma.
