Pigmented spindle cell naevus of Reed presenting in the conjunctiva

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to present the clinical and histopathological features of a pigmented spindle cell naevus (PSCN) appearing in the conjunctiva. Methods: Histopathological examination of the lesion following excision and review of the pertinent literature. Results: The features were consistent with those previously recognized in the skin as the PSCN of Reed. Conclusion: The PSCN can appear in the conjunctiva and should not be confused with conjunctival melanoma.
