Long-term prognosis was analyzed by a retrospective study of 56 patients with malignant melanoma of the conjunctiva and the eyelids. Survival rate at 5 years was 85 p. cent, at 10 years 68 p. cent, and at 15 or 20 years 55 p. cent; neither the localization of the tumor nor the type of initial treatment had a significant influence on these rates. Local or nodal recurrences occurred in 80 p. cent of cases, and were frequent following conservative surgery; prognosis is bad after radiotherapy.
