Resumen
GOMEZ CABRERA, Clara G.; FALCON MARQUEZ, Iraida; VILLAMIL MARTINEZ, Vladimir y PADILLA GONZALEZ, Carmen María. Pigmented injuries of the eyelid and the conjunctiva. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2002, vol.15, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3070.
A retrospective review of the medical histories of 141 patients with histological diagnosis of pigmented injuries from January, 1989, to December, 1999, was made. 54 % of the patients were under 20. 57 % were females. 57 % of these injuries were localized in the conjunctiva. 73.8 % of the eyelid injuries were intradermic nevus, whereas in the conjunctiva 53.8% corresponded to compound nevus. We found in our series that the group of patients under 20 had the highest incidence and that females presented a larger number of cases. The conjunctiva was the prevailing anatomical localization. The intradermic nevus was the most frequent diagnosis in the eyelids and the compound nevus predominated in the conjunctiva.
