摘要
PURPOSE: To report a pigmented conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma that clinically simulated a conjunctival melanoma. DESIGN: Interventional case report. METHODS: Ocular examination, surgical excision, and clinicopathologic correlation. RESULTS: A 78-year-old white man developed a lightly pigmented mass at the temporal limbus of his right eye. The differential diagnosis included pigmented squamous cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma. Histopathologic examination revealed a malignant squamous cell tumor that contained foci of melanin pigment. The final diagnosis was pigmented conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma. CONCLUSION: Conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma may rarely be pigmented and simulate a conjunctival melanoma. (Am J Ophthalmol 2001;132:104-106. (C) 2001 by Elsevier Science Inc.
