Conjunctival melanocytes are like those of the skin and benign and malignant lesions composed of conjuctival melanocytes act much like those of skin. Conjunctival naevi are common and usually benign. Conjunctival melanomas are rare and arise de novo, from pre-existing junctional naevi or from intraepithelial melanomas either superficial spreading melanoma (SSM) or Hutchinson's freckle (HF). It is important to utilize the newer data about skin melanomas in any consideration of the diagnosis and prognosis of melanotic conjunctival lesions. Until more information is gathered we cannot provide an accurate assessment of the natural history of malignant conjunctival melanomas.
结膜黑素细胞与皮肤黑素细胞相似，由结膜黑素细胞组成的良性和恶性病变的行为与皮肤病变非常相似。结膜痣很常见，通常是良性的。结膜黑色素瘤很少见，可原发出现，也可由先前存在的交界痣或上皮内黑色素瘤（即浅表扩散性黑色素瘤或哈钦森雀斑）发展而来。在考虑黑素性结膜病变的诊断和预后时，利用有关皮肤黑色素瘤的最新数据非常重要。在收集到更多信息之前，我们无法对恶性结膜黑色素瘤的自然史进行准确评估。
