Abstract:
We report the case of a 71-year-old male who was first diagnosed with conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma in September 2010. The lesion was excised twice and cryotherapy of the margins was performed. On histology the margins were not tumor-free but this was not followed up by further excision. After 5 months the patient was referred to this department with a growing tumor mass which had infiltrated into the anterior chamber and partly destroyed the iris. Because of this advanced finding extended enucleation was performed. The histological examination showed a well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma and no evidence of metastasis in lymph nodes or elsewhere could be found by conventional computed tomography (CT) and positron emission CT (PET-CT).
