چکیده
Aim: To assess in a prospective manner, high frequency ultrasound diagnosis of deep invasion by conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma. Methods: Prospective, non-randomised case series comparing 20 MHz high frequency ultrasonographic and clinicopathological data. Results: 20 MHz high frequency ultrasound delineated the degree of deep involvement of this tumour into the sclera, globe, and orbit. The results of ultrasonography correlated with the clinicopathological results. Conclusions: High frequency ultrasound is a useful diagnostic adjunctive test in patients with possible deep involvement by a conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma.

متن کاملResection of intraocular squamous cell carcinoma.
A patient with recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva was referred with 20/20 vision in an eye with obvious intraocular extension. A modified iridocyclochoroidectomy was performed and the tumour was removed. Three and a half years later the patient's vision is 20/30 and there is no recurrence. This is the first case in which an eye has been successfully salvaged with documented in...

Due to an increase in UV light exposure, conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma has become increasingly more prevalent throughout the world. However, primary intraocular invasion from conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma still remains rare and is therefore often misdiagnosed. Larger, more aggressive lesions that invade the eye are frequently not amenable to standard excision and cryotherapy. For ...

An 89-year-old woman with recurrent conjunctival mucoepidermoid carcinoma developed intraocular inflammation and an elevated fundus lesion that simulated choroidal detachment in her affected right eye. Intraocular invasion of squamous cell carcinoma was suspected and the eye was enucleated. Pathologic examination of the enucleated eye showed intraocular invasion by conjunctival mucoepidermoid c...
