Abstract

Introduction: Ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) as proposed by Lee and Hirst in 1995 comprises a wide spectrum of dysplastic changes of the ocular surface epithelium.1,2 Risk factors include immunosuppression (HIV/AIDS), ocular surface HPV infections (subtypes 16 and 18), and exposure to UV light, etc.1-3 Common symptoms are growth in the eye, redness, tearing, and foreign body sensation; however, in very advanced cases, necrotizing scleritis, associated with severe pain and visual loss. It is usually unilateral and in the interpalpebral limbal stem area. Signs are fleshy conjunctival lesions with a gelatinous, leukoplakic or papillary appearance which may be flat/raised/localized/diffuse, +/-feeder conjunctival vessels.1-3 Excisional biopsy with histology gives the definitive diagnosis.1-3
