Abstract:
Squamous cell carcinoma of the bulbar conjunctiva is a rare disease and usually arise at the limbus and spread to the cornea and adjacent bulbar conjunctiva. The authers experienced two cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the bulbar conjunctiva. In the first case, a 30-year old male visited our hospital in February, 1969 with a congested granulomatous hypertrophy in the nasal side of the bulbar conjunctiva(OD) which had showed progressive enlargement of 3 months duration. An excisional biopsy was carried out and histopathological examination revealed bulbar squamous cell carcinoma. In second case, a 51-year old female visited our hospital in January, 1977 with recurrent mild conjunctival injection and a small whitish elevated mass in the temporal side of the bulbar conjunctiva(OD) which had showed progressive enlargement of 7 months duration. The elevated mass was resected and histopathological examination revealed bulbar squamous cell carcinoma. We had a study of the histopathological finding for two cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the bulbar conjunctiva with a brief review of relating literatures.
