Introduction: Intraocular localization of conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is due to scleral or corneal invasion. Herein, we describe the clinical and histopathological findings in four cases of SCC complicated by intraocular invasion, and we review cases reported in the literature and their management. We retrospectively collected and analyzed clinical characteristics, histopathology, management, and follow-up data from 4 patients with conjunctival SCC complicated by intraocular invasion.

M3 tumors are more infiltrated by T-lymphocytes than low-risk disomic-3 (D3) tumors, contrasting with other tumor types in which T cell infiltration correlates with better prognosis.

Methods: Immune cell infiltrates (ICIs), PD-1 and PD-L1 were characterised in 62 UMLM and 28 primary uveal melanomas (PUM). ICI, PD-1 and PD-L1 were scored as: (1) % tumoral area occupied by tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes or macrophages (TILs, TIMs) and (2) % perTumoral (perT) area.
