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.
