  • Title: Desmoplastic malignant melanoma of the upper eyelid.
    Author: Sutula FC, Dortzbach RK, Bolles JC.
    Journal: Ann Ophthalmol; 1982 Feb; 14(2):141-3. PubMed ID: 7092022.
    Abstract:
    Desmoplastic melanoma is a rare and unusual variant of malignant melanoma. Its occurrence has not been previously reported in the ophthalmological literature, nor has an occurrence previously been shown to arise from mucosal melanosis. A case is reported of a patient who appeared to have a recurrent chalazion. The clinician should be alert to this entity when evaluating nodular eyelid lesions especially in the presence of acquired melanosis.
