Purpose:
To evaluate the possibility of amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) for the treatment of conjunctival tumor.
Methods:
Preserved AMT was performed in 26 patients (26 eyes) with conjunctival tumor, including 9 eyes (34.62%) with malignant tumor (conjunctival malignant melanoma, corneal and conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma, conjunctival lymphoma), 17 eyes (65.38%) with benign tumor (conjunctival papilloma, conjunctival dermoid tumor, conjunctival nevus, hemangioma etc.).
Result:
All the patients are followed up for 1-53 months. No acute rejection was observed after preserved AMT. Ideal healing was found in conjunctiva wound.
Conclusion:
Preserved AMT is a very effective method to repair wound after giant conjunctival tumor operation. Complete removal of tumor and perfect fixation are the key of ocular surface reconstruction.
