“…The alternative diagnosis of a primary iris and distinct primary conjunctival melanoma, has been described but is rare. 25 In this regard, histopathology and immunohistochemistry were found to be useful diagnostic tools, ruling out the presence of melanosis with atypia, a common predisposing condition for the development of primary conjunctival melanoma, and in showing there was no junctional component, 26 suggesting that tumour origin was from a previously excised iris melanoma.…”

Patients undergoing iris melanoma resection are at risk of developing late solitary extraocular relapse even more than 30 years after surgery. In the absence of an intraocular component, diagnosis may be challenging, as tumors mimic a primary conjunctival lesion. Management by excisional biopsy followed by adjuvant therapy was successful, and histopathology and genetic analysis supported a diagnosis of extraocular uveal tumor spread rather than a primary conjunctival tumor.

“…Esmaeli et al [14], where the first to report on SLNM and SLNB in CM, since then numerous reports of SLNM and SLNB have been published in the literature by various authors [4,6,[15][16][17][18][19][20]. In the last decade SLNM and SLNB for CM has evolved dramatically because it has been shown to detect regional lymph node spread with great accuracy and minimal morbidity [13,20].…”

Objective: To report two cases of conjunctival melanoma (CM) that underwent sentinel lymph mapping (SLNM) and sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) with good results. Introduction:Conjunctival melanoma (CM) is a very rare malignancy, with an incidence of less than one per million cases per year. Metastatic dissemination may occur via lymphatic or hematogenous routes. The regional lymph nodes most commonly involved in the head and neck region are found in the deep cervical node chain and in the parotid gland. The management of the lymph nodes in patients with CM is debatable with some authors recommending SLNM with SLNB. The indications for performing SLNM and SLNB are CM with a thickness of 1 mm or greater.
