摘要

导言：结膜黑色素瘤（CM）是一种罕见但可能致命的眼部恶性肿瘤，由结膜中的黑色素细胞引起。其临床表现可与其他更常见的结膜病变（如鳞状细胞癌（SCC））相似，从而给诊断带来困难：病例介绍：我们介绍了一例最初因临床特征重叠而被误诊为结膜 SCC 的 CM：结论：CM 表现为非色素性结膜肿瘤是一项诊断挑战。临床医生应高度怀疑结膜黑素细胞或黑色素病变，尤其是那些具有非典型特征的病变。

A Case of Conjunctival Melanoma Presenting as a Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Introduction: Conjunctival melanoma (CM) is a rare but potentially lethal ocular malignancy that arises from melanocytes in the conjunctiva. Its clinical presentation can mimic other more common conjunctival lesions, such as squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), leading to diagnostic challenges.

Case presentation: We present a case of CM initially misdiagnosed as conjunctival SCC due to overlapping clinical features.

Conclusion: CM presenting as nonpigmented, conjunctival tumor is a diagnostic challenge. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for conjunctival melanocytic or amelanotic lesions, particularly those with atypical features.

期刊介绍： This peer-reviewed online-only journal publishes original case reports covering the entire spectrum of ophthalmology, including prevention, diagnosis, treatment, toxicities of therapy, supportive care, quality-of-life, and survivorship issues. The submission of negative results is strongly encouraged. The journal will also accept case reports dealing with the use of novel technologies, both in the arena of diagnosis and treatment. Supplementary material is welcomed. The intent of the journal is to provide clinicians and researchers with a tool to disseminate their personal experiences to a wider public as well as to review interesting cases encountered by colleagues all over the world. Universally used terms can be searched across the entire growing collection of case reports, further facilitating the retrieval of specific information. Following the open access principle, the entire contents can be retrieved at no charge, guaranteeing easy access to this valuable source of anecdotal information at all times.
