ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Inflammatory juvenile conjunctival nevi (IJCN) is a rare type of nevus and its clinical presentation overlaps with that of malignant conjunctival melanoma. It is a benign lesion that has been described to progress to melanoma in some cases. IJCN may clinically mimic melanoma due to its rapid growth features and atypical histology. Thus, its accurate diagnosis by histopathology is a prerequisite for proper management. Here, we present a case of conjunctival lesion mimicking melanoma clinically.
