Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Ocular surface squamous cell neoplasia (OSSCN) is a rare malignancy.
  • These tumors can affect the conjunctiva and cornea.

Observation:

  • An 83-year-old male patient presented with OSSCN.
  • The tumor involved both the conjunctiva and cornea.

Findings:

  • OSSCN is often diagnosed and treated early due to its visible nature.
  • Prompt management is key to preventing severe ocular damage.

Implications:

  • Increased incidence may be linked to immunocompromised individuals.
  • Awareness and early detection are vital for positive patient outcomes.
