  • Title: [Conjunctival melanoma and xeroderma pigmentosum, a rare association].
    Author: Benatiya Andaloussi I, Abdellaoui M, Tahri H.
    Journal: Bull Soc Belge Ophtalmol; 2012; (319):17-21. PubMed ID: 22550773.
    Abstract:
    Ocular involvement in the xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) can be located on the eyelids, conjunctiva or cornea. Malignant melanoma of the conjunctiva is a rare tumor, and even more so in children. Only five cases associated with XP have been published since 1960. We report a sixth case occurring in a girl aged 14. Surgical treatment consisted of an orbital exenteration extended to the eyelids and the evolution is marked by a good healing of the orbital cavity without local recurrence after four months.
