Giant conjunctival melanoma treated with excision and primary reconstruction using a partial thickness skin graft.

Conjunctival melanoma is a rare type of malignancy of ocular surface tissue with a high recurrence rate, sight, and life-threatening malignancy. In this paper, we report a case of giant conjunctival melanoma in an 86-year-old woman, localized on her left eye. The pigmented tumor lesion was de novo occurred and treated by local wide excision and reconstruction of the presented defect by partial thickness skin from the inside parts of the forearm. The eye itself was not damaged, and the first-line lymph nodes showed no malignant activity. In the three years of follow-up, no signs of recurrence have been observed. The treatment approach with local excision and subsequent reconstruction with the partial thickness skin graft or excision with adjuvant therapy has given a good clinical outcome.
