[Treatment of conjunctival melanoma]. / Tratamiento del melanoma conjuntival.

CLINICAL CASE: The cases of an 86 year-old woman and a 61 year-old man with conjunctival pigmented tumors are presented. An excisional biopsy, conjunctival cryotherapy and amniotic membrane grafts were performed in both cases, along with the application of mitomycin-C in the postoperative period. The histology study confirmed the clinical suspicion of melanoma. Tolerance was good during the follow-up with no signs of recurrence in the last 12 and 6 months, respectively. DISCUSSION: The recommended treatment for conjunctival melanoma is surgical removal with adjunctive therapies such as cryotherapy or topical mitomycin-C. This is a well tolerated therapy and effective for preventing recurrences in the short-medium term.
