Abstract |
PURPOSE To assess the characteristics and treatments of ocular surface squamous neoplasms (OSSN). METHODS: We analyzed four representative cases of squamous neoplasms present on the ocular surface and discussed a new paradigm for the diagnosis and management of such lesions. CONCLUSIONS: Conjunctival and corneal tumors differentiated to squamous cells are rare. OSSN has various clinical appearances, and because OSSN itself is either malignant or has potential to become malignancy, precise discrimination and adequate treatment methods are necessary. We hope that the results from this study provide a basic source of information for diagnosing and treating OSSN. |
