Abstract

The authors present the case of a four-year-old patient who came to our clinic because of a tumor formation localized at the sclero-corneal level. The ophthalmologic examination resulted in the diagnosis of conjunctival malignant melanoma and the decision for excision was made. The postoperative anatomo-pathologic examination disproved the malignant character of the lesion and established the diagnosis of conjunctival nevus.
