ABSTRACT
In a case of conjunctival malignant melanoma involving the cornea, we evaluated the findings of H,E, Fontana-Masson, S-100 protein, HMB 45 stain after the localized excision in 39 years old male patient. B-scan ultrasonography, orbit, MRI, Ga citrate scanning and bone scan showed no metastasis to the intraocular tissue, orbital adnexae and other organs. In H-E stain, spindle cells containing melanin pigment which was growing diffusely underneath the conjunctival epithelium could be seen. Fontana-Masson and S-100 protein staining resulted in diffusely positive findings, Therefore we could diagnose as 8 spindle B type malignant m.elanom.a. By histopathological examination, in a case of confirmed spindle B type COunctival malignant melanoma involving the cornea, good result, could be obtained by localized excision followed by 11 months.
