  • Title: Dematiaceous fungi mimicking a conjunctival melanoma.
    Author: Moss HB, Fowler WC, Schell WA, Perfect JR, Zedek DC.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg; 2013; 29(2):e65-6. PubMed ID: 23250331.
    Abstract:
    An 85-year-old, immunocompetent man was referred to the authors due to the presence of an enlarging, pigmented mass of the conjunctiva concerning for a conjunctival melanoma. Wide excision of the mass revealed a pigmented or "dematiaceous" fungus. He was treated with topical natamycin, and the lesion healed well without any evidence of recurrence. Dematiaceous fungi should be considered in the differential for pigmented conjunctival lesions.
