Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Corneal carcinomas are not documented in existing medical literature.
  • Corneal dystrophy is a condition affecting the cornea's clarity and function.

Observation:

  • A 50-year-old male patient presented with corneal dystrophy.
  • The patient underwent a keratoplasty procedure.

Findings:

  • Microscopic examination revealed a squamous-cell carcinoma.
  • The carcinoma had extensively spread across the entire cornea.
  • The tumor growth extended to the limbus, the border between the cornea and sclera.

Implications:

  • This case represents the first documented instance of corneal carcinoma.
  • Highlights the importance of microscopic examination in diagnosing unusual corneal conditions.
  • May necessitate a review of diagnostic and treatment protocols for extensive corneal pathologies.
