title: Clinical and therapeutical considerations on a case of conjunctival melanoma.
abstract: The authors report a case of limbal conjunctival melanoma treated in a conservative manner. The choice of such a therapy was based not only on clinical examinations and review of literature, but also and mainly on the intraoperative histological examination that showed no involvement of the conjunctival deeper layers.
