PURPOSE
To report a unique case of primary corneal melanoma.
METHODS
A 59-year-old white woman underwent keratectomy to remove a pigmented rapidly enlarging growth on the corner of her left eye. The specimen was submitted for histopathologic examination.
RESULTS
Ophthalmic examination disclosed no association with limbal or conjunctival melanocytic abnormalities. Histopathologic studies demonstrated nodular malignant melanoma.
CONCLUSION
Possible development of primary corneal melanoma should be considered in diagnosing all cases with a past history of corneal melanin pigmentation.
