Purpose:
To report an effective treatment for recurrent squamous papillomas of the conjunctiva with excision and application of mitomycin C.
Method:
Case report.
Results:
A 5-year-old African-American girl with recurrent squamous papillomas of the right bulbar and palpebral conjunctiva was treated with multiple therapies, including excision, cryotherapy, and conjunctival injection of alpha-interferon; all therapies were followed by recurrence. After treatment with excision followed by intraoperative application of mitomycin C to the involved conjunctiva, the patient had no recurrence in a 30-month period.
Conclusions:
Excision with application of mitomycin C was successful in managing a case of squamous papillomatosis that was resistant to traditional therapy.
