title: [Acquired ocular melanosis].
abstract: A case of ocular melanosis with a 24-year follow-up is presented. On the basis of the course and the results of histologic findings (conjunctival biopsy) it was classified as benign acquired melanosis with pronounced junctional activity. The constantly changing clinical appearance, ranging from a deep black conjunctiva to ultimately white tissue, is described and discussed.
