Abstract
- Most squamous cell carcinomas arise in the interpalpebral area of the perilimbal conjunctiva and grow in an exophytic, sometimes papillary, fashion. These tend to be only superficially invasive and to have a relatively benign clinical course. We experienced two cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva. A 32 year old man had a hard, nontender, round mass at the temporal portion of the limbus and a 63 year old man showed an irreqular surfaced, large mass of the inferior-temporal portion of the bulbar conjunctiva with extension to the cornea. Complete excision of the mass, cryotherapy and 95% alcohol cauterization were performed. After the follow up period of 9 to 22 months, the two patients revealed no recurrence of the tumor.
