EOD Primary Tumor

Notes

**Note 1:** **Primary acquired melanosis** * Melanoma in situ is also called primary acquired melanosis. **Note 2:** **Nodular or well-defined conjunctival melanomas** * Nodular or well-defined conjunctival melanomas are clinically categorized according to the regional location of their posterior and anterior margins (i.e., cornea, limbus, bulbar conjunctiva, fornix, palpebral conjunctiva, plica, caruncle, or eyelid skin) and by their circumferential extent, in clock minutes, in each of these regions. * A "quadrant" comprises 15 clock minutes regardless of the meridian locations of the lateral margins.
