Résumé

This article describes the present literature on dermoscopy of conjunctiva and shows the results of a dermoscopy study of 147 conjunctival tumors. Melanomas were characterized by a heavy pigmentation, irregular dots, and a higher prevalence of gray color compared with nevi. Squamous cell carcinomas had peculiar hairpin and glomerular vessels. Primary acquired melanoses were characterized by regularly distributed light brown dots. A large part of nevi had small cysts.
