FP36 : Giant ocular surface squamous neoplasms: Presentation and surgical management

Dr.Dhivya A, D11023

Ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) is a common conjunctival tumor. It represents the spectrum of conjunctival and corneal squamous epithelial tumors that include conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).Giant OSSN has been defined as a single tumor measuring more than 15 mm in basal diameter or six limbal clock hours. The poster shows the management of giant ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) surgically for advanced presentations from rural India. We present giant OSSNs wrapping 12 clock hours of cornea at presentation which were treated surgically. This is different from the reported no touch technique in conventional OSSN surgeries. These cases illustrates the challenge in developing countries where patients may seek medical attention late when disease is advanced. They also illustrate that surgical excision can be tried in huge or giant masses for complete remission.
