Conjunctival melanocytic naevus: Diagnostic value of anterior segment optical coherence tomography and ultrasound biomicroscopy

Abstract

Superiority of AS-OCT over UBM was demonstrated in visualizing internal structures of conjunctival naevi. UBM proved to be a better tool in highly pigmented and remarkably elevated naevi. Correlation was found between the histological type of the naevus and the thickness of the epithelial layer covering the lesion.
