Epithelial conjunctival malignancies are one of the most prevalent ocular surface tumors. Primary basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the conjunctiva is extremely rare. We report the case of a 67-year-old Indian gentleman who presented with a fleshy conjunctival lesion for one year on his right eye.

The new CPC composites comprise β-tri-calcium phosphate (β-TCP) and di-calcium phosphate anhydrous (DCPA) mixed with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and incorporated with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) or functionalized MWCNTs (MWCNTs-OH and MWCNTs-COOH). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), compressive strength tests, injectability tests, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction were used to evaluate the properties of the final products.

Article Synopsis
- * Injectable bone substitutes (IBS), particularly calcium phosphate (CP)-based composites, offer a more convenient solution for filling bone defects due to their similarity to natural bone mineral.
- * Despite their advantages, bulk CP materials face challenges like brittleness and weak mechanical properties, prompting ongoing research to enhance the strength and injectability of calcium phosphate cement (CPC).
