[Malignant melanoma and melanosis of the conjunctiva. Limited surgical excision and cryotherapy]. / Mélanome malin et mélanose de la conjonctive. Excision chirurgicale limitée et cryoapplication.

A 92 year old woman was noted to have three black conjunctival nodules and a black-brown pigmentation of the temporal conjunctiva.
