Squamous cell carcinoma of Conjunctiva
Journal Title: Perspectives In Medical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: Conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma is a cancer on the surface of the eye. It usually arises at the limbus as papillary exophytic grey-white mass. Histologically, squamous carcinomas which arise in the conjunctival epithelium are well differentiated tumors. Squamous cell carcinoma is locally invasive but rarely spreads to distant sites. Squamous cell carcinomas of conjunctiva are rare tumours which occur in the sun damaged ocular surface, usually at the limbus. Metastasis of squamous cell carcinoma of conjunctiva is also rare. In this case sclera and corneal invasion was noted but ciliary body and other structures were not involved.
