Abstract:
We described clinical observations and reviews of literature to three cases of malignant melanoma which occurred in the tarsal conjunctiva. First case of 69 years old man, treated with 25 times of X-ray irradiation (total 5,000 rad) to metastatic cervical tumor mass, and removal of malignant melanoma in lower tarsal conjunctiva. Second case of 36 years old man, treated with 25 times of X-ray irradiation (total 5,000 rad) to metastatic submandibular tumor mass, which was subsided, but 17 times of X-ray irradiation (total 3,400 rad) to malignant melanoma in lower tarsal conjunctiva, which wasn't subsided, so performed exenteration of orbit. Third case of 64 years old woman, performed only removal of malignant melanoma in mucocutaneous junction of upper lid. All three cases were not recurred as now.
