Recurrent conjunctival papilloma progressing into squamous cell carcinoma with change of HPV-finding during the course.

摘要

A Caucasian woman in her eighties presented at our clinic with a reddish, papillomatous lesion covering the medial and inferior quadrants of the bulbar conjunctiva of the left eye. Duration of this lesion was unknown (fig 1A). As a squamous cell carcinoma was suspected, the tumour was surgically removed, and the resection margins treated by cryotherapy. Histopathological examination showed no signs of malignancy but did reveal a limbal papilloma (fig IB).
