Abstract

The mucoepidermoid carcinoma on the cornea and conjunctival is so rare that only a few cases have been reported worldwide and no case in Korea. We experienced that a patient whose complaint was a protruding mass on the conjunctiva, after tumor removal it was histologically defined as mucoepidermoid carcinoma. So we report a case of conjunctival mucoepidermoid carcinoma involving the cornea, with reviewing reference.
