Invasive squamous cell carcinoma, however, is uncommon, and intraocular extension has rarely been reported. We report a case of invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva with intra-ocular involvement in 94 year-old man.</p><p>Methods: A case report.</p><p>Results: A 94-year-old male patient presented with a rapidly growing exophytic mass involving the right eyeball for 2 months.The biopsy performed a well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva. </p><p>The extension assessment showed local bone extension. The patient underwent exenteration with good postoperative consequences.</p><p>Conclusion: This disease has a variable appearance. Late presentation with large orbital tumours are not uncommon. Early diagnosis is crucial to improve the visual prognosis.</p> | ||
