Abstract

The incidence of metastasis to the eye and its related structure on recent studies appear to be more common than previous studies demonstrate. The authors experienced a case of hepatocellular carcinoma metastatic to the conjunctiva. A 48-year-old man with known hepatocellular carcinoma in the liver had a mass surrounded with blood clot on the upper palpebral conjunctiva of right eye. A biopsy demonstrated that the lesion was hepatocellular carcinoma metastatic to the conjunctiva.
