abstract = {To report a case of amelanotic melanoma located in the left upper eyelid misdiagnosed as chalazion in a 41-year-old woman. Examination showed a red 2 cm × 2 cm mass in the left upper palpebral conjunctiva. The tumor was excised and regular fixed in 10% formalin, embedded, sectioned, HE stained and immunohistochemistry stained. Histopathological examination revealed nests of round atypical tumor cells with vacuolated cytoplasm and sheets of spindle atypical tumor cells. Some tumor cells had conspicuous nucleoli. Immunohistochemistry some tumor cells were positive for melanocytic markers S-100, HMB-45 and negative for CK, EMA. So the pathological diagnosis was palpebral conjunctiva amelanotic melanoma in the left upper eyelid. For the mass in palpebral conjunctiva of senile patients without typical characteristics of chalazion, the surgical specimen should be performed for pathologic examination to rule out other tumors.},
