Abstract
Clinical case

The cases of an 86-year-old woman and a 61-year-old man with conjunctival pigmented tumors are presented. An excisional biopsy, conjunctival cryotherapy and amniotic membrane grafts were performed in both cases, along with the application of mitomycin-C in the postoperative period. The histology study confirmed the clinical suspicion of melanoma. Tolerance was good during the follow-up with no signs of recurrence in the last 12 and 6 months, respectively.

Discussion

The recommended treatment for conjunctival melanoma is surgical removal with adjunctive therapies such as cryotherapy or topical mitomycin-C. This is a well tolerated therapy and effective for preventing recurrences in the short-medium term.

Mujer de 86 años y varón de 61 años con sendas tumoraciones conjuntivales pigmentadas. En ambos casos se realiza biopsia escisional, crioterapia en conjuntiva, recubrimiento con membrana amniótica y aplicación de mitomicina C (MMC) en el pos-operatorio. El estudio histológico confirmó la sospecha clínica de melanoma. Durante el seguimiento la tolerancia ha sido buena, sin signos de recurrencia al cabo de 12 y 6 meses, respectivamente.

Discusión

El tratamiento de elección en el melanoma conjuntival es la resección quirúrgica, asociada a tratamientos adyuvantes como la crioterapia o la MMC tópica. Es una terapia bien tolerada y eficaz en la prevención de recurrencias a corto-medio plazo.
