Invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva
W. J. Iliff, R. Marback and W. R. Green
In cases of invasive conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma, three cases of
deep corneal invasion and two cases of intraocular extension were found.
Four cases showed orbital invasion, and one patient died of generalized
metastases 18 months after diagnosis. The relatively low-grade nature of
these lesions and their potential for local treatment is noted, but it is
emphasized that careful clinical examination and close cooperation with the
pathologist to ensure adequate evaluation of excised tissue are essential.
