Abstract
Malignant melanoma of the conjunctiva is a rare condition. It is managed by local excision with or without
supplementary cryotherapy. Despite an adequate excision, local recurrences are not uncommon. Systematic
metastases occur to lung, liver, skin, bone or the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Metastasis to the genitourinary
tract has rarely been reported. Simultaneous occurrence of conjunctival melanoma and transitional cell
carcinoma of the urinary bladder, however, has never been reported. Our case report highlights this unique
clinical association, besides demonstrating the salutary effect of prompt and targeted therapy towards preventing local recurrences, as well as emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to metastatic workup in detecting
systemic malignancies associated with ocular ones.
