BACKGROUND: Nevus of the bulbar conjunctiva is a benign pigmented lesion of the ocular surface. Unless a biopsy is required for ruling out @entity320 , a @entity7174 is usually excised for cosmetic reasons only. However, with large lesions involving two or more quadrants of the bulbar conjunctiva, a total resection can be difficult. In this report, we present a case of a huge @entity7174 treated by surgical excision and amniotic membrane transplantation for reconstruction of the bulbar conjunctiva. METHODS: A 54-year-old Japanese @entity1 was referred to our clinic with suspected @entity5 of the bulbar conjunctiva in his right eye. A large and diffuse @entity5 with numerous small cysts was present mainly on the upper bulbar conjunctiva. Resection of the @entity5 and amniotic membrane transplantation for reconstruction of the bulbar conjunctiva were performed. RESULTS: The histopathological diagnosis was @entity3169 . Epithelialization of the bulbar conjunctiva over the amniotic membrane sheet was completed 4 weeks after resection. At 44-month follow-up, there was no recurrence or any @entity260 . CONCLUSION: Surgical resection combined with reconstruction by amniotic membrane transplantation is effective for the treatment of large @entity3169 .
