Melanoma of the conjunctiva is a rare tumor with incidence from 0,03 to 0,08 cases per 100000 white population. Metastatic malignant melanoma represents approximately 5% of all secondary malignant lung tumors. We report the unexpected discovery of a pulmonary and pleural metastasis from a conjunctival melanoma in a young subject.
