  • Title: Ocular melanomas and melanocytic lesions of the eye.
    Author: Grin JM, Grant-Kels JM, Grin CM, Berke A, Kels BD.
    Journal: J Am Acad Dermatol; 1998 May; 38(5 Pt 1):716-30. PubMed ID: 9591817.
    Abstract:
    This article describes several melanocytic lesions of the eye. Benign and malignant lesions will be discussed as well as a review of the dysplastic nevus syndrome and its proposed association with ocular melanoma. Ocular melanomas arise from the same embryologically derived melanocytes as their cutaneous counterparts. However, ocular and cutaneous melanomas differ in many respects. The diagnosis and management of these ocular tumors rely heavily on the ophthalmologist. However, knowledge of melanocytic lesions will aid the dermatologist in detection and in proper referral of these patients.
