title: [Malignant melanoma of the conjunctiva: histopathologic study].
abstract: The pathological features of 17 malignant melanomas of the conjunctiva, treated by local excision at the Clinique universitaire de Lausanne, were studied, and the most frequent difficulties encountered by the pathologist are presented. Cox's proportional hazards model confirmed that tumor thickness had a prognostic significance and showed that cell type was significant too.
