Abstract
Colloidal silver used as a suspension for (alternative) therapeutic purposes or silver exposure due to environmental or working conditions can lead to irreversible deposits of silver granules in the skin (bluish-gray hue of the skin), mucosa, cornea, retina and internal organs. Silver-induced discoloration of the conjunctiva should therefore be taken into account when a bluish-gray discoloration raises the suspicion of conjunctival melanoma.Entities:
