Conjunctival Melanoma with Rhabdomyosarcomatous Differentiation:

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This is a case of malignant melanoma with rhabdomyosarcomatous differentiation presenting as a conjunctival mass in a 50-year-old male. Melanoma cells were seen to react with desmin, myogenin and vimentin, indicating rhabdomyosarcomatous differentiation. This condition is very rare, with less than twenty cases reported in the literature, which contributes to the limitations in molecular characterization and standard treatment protocols for this entity. This condition has an aggressive course with a poor prognosis.
