Primary Acquired Melanosis: Clinical, Histopathologic and Optical Coherence Tomographic Correlation

Conclusions: The characteristic basal epithelial hyperreflective band with normal overlying epithelium in the absence of cysts observed in all cases by anterior segment OCT correlated with clinical and histopathologic features of conjunctival and corneal PAM. Anterior segment OCT may be helpful as a noninvasive diagnostic tool for PAM. Improvement in resolution is necessary to detect melanocytic hyperplasia and aytpia suggestive of malignant potential.Ocul Oncol Pathol 2016;2:123-127
