title: [Results of treating malignant conjunctival melanoma].
abstract: 28 patients with histologically confirmed conjunctival melanoma were treated between 1968 and 1987. In all the cases, the lesion was excised and in 15 cases, it was secondarily irradiated with 60Co or 27Sr. In 9 cases, recurrence appeared and, among them, twice as often in the group treated only surgically. 6 patients with the recurrence of conjunctival melanoma died because of metastases, 2 are alive and there is no information about 1.
