متن کاملWhen narrative medicine helps in the diagnosis of conjunctival melanoma – an exceptional case report
INTRODUCTION Conjunctival melanoma is a relatively rare ocular malignancy with substantial associated morbidity and mortality. It can arise in previously unblemished and unpigmented regions (approximately 10% of cases), from a preexisting nevus (approximately 20% of cases), or from the flat, spreading pigmentation of primary acquired melanosis with atypia (60-70% of cases), actually called conj...
