Regressing conjunctival nevus in a child

To report a case exhibiting drastic regression of a conjunctival nevus in a child. Case Report: Spontaneous regression of conjunctival nevus is uncommon. We report the case of a nine-year-old Caucasian boy presenting a conjunctival-pigmented lesion situated at the plica semilunaris that underwent a significant reduction in size and color over a period of 15 months. Conjunctival nevus in children is common but regression is rare, especially at the plica. This information could form an important part of the consent process when choosing between observation and surgical excision in the management of a small conjunctival lesion with no suspicious clinical features; since the latter invasive treatment involves risks such as infection, scarring and the possible risk of general anesthesia in children.
