Purpose. To analyze and describe corneal and conjunctival tumor thickness and internal characteristics and extension in depth and size and shape measured by two noninvasive techniques, anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM). Design. Systematic review. Methods. This systematic review is based on a comprehensive search of 4 databases (Medline, Em...

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical results of patients treated by amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) following excision of conjunctival and limbal tumors. Methods: A total of 14 eyes of 14 patients who underwent AMT after total lesion-free tumor excision and perilesional cryotherapy were evaluated. Results: The excised tumors comprised 7 conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia, 5 conjunc...

PURPOSE To evaluate risk factors for local recurrence, regional and distant metastases, and mortality associated with conjunctival melanoma. METHODS This was a retrospective study of 194 patients with histologically confirmed conjunctival melanoma diagnosed between 1950 and 2002 in the Netherlands. Data were collected from all university centers and many nontertiary hospitals, using the Natio...

Purpose To evaluate the prognosis in Chinese patients with conjunctival melanoma and determine its predictors. Further, to explore the racial differences in clinical characteristics and outcomes between Chinese and Caucasian patients. Methods This cohort study included 57 eyes of 57 consecutive patients with pathologically verified conjunctival melanoma between 1996 and 2016. Medical records ...

PurposeTo study the feasibility and diagnostic value of vascular imaging using optical coherence tomography (OCT)-angiography (OCTA) melanocytic lesions conjunctiva iris.DesignCross-sectional study.MethodsTwenty-five patients with an untreated conjunctival lesion (5 melanoma, 13 nevus, 7 primary acquired melanosis [PAM]) 52 iris (10 42 nevus) were included. Patients imaged a commercially availa...

BACKGROUND Here we report three cases of conjunctival lymphoma that were initially unnotified or misdiagnosed as other ocular diseases because of the small tumor size, peripheral tumor location (the tumor was hidden in the fornix), and nonspecific symptoms. METHODS Three patients diagnosed with conjunctivitis or nasolacrimal duct obstruction were referred to our clinic because they were unres...

PURPOSE To evaluate the surgical outcomes of ocular surface reconstruction in corneal-conjunctival tumors using fibrin tissue adhesive. METHODS A prospective noncomparative study was performed between May 2013 and February 2015. Patients were submitted to routine surgical procedure for corneal-conjunctival tumor excision followed by amniotic membrane graft transplantation using fibrin tissue ...

Purpose:Conjunctivalmelanoma is a rare but potentially deadly tumor of the eye. Despite effective local therapies, recurrence and metastasis remain frequent. Once the tumor has metastasized, treatment options are limited and the prognosis is poor. To date, little is known of the genetic alterations in conjunctival
