Published: January 2001

A patient with massive, protuberant squamous cell carcinoma of conjunctiva invading the whole cornea, so as to hang from the surface, was referred with a visual acuity of hand motion near to face. A microscopically-controlled, frozen section guided excision, followed by double-freeze-thaw cryoapplication to the sclera and the edges of the conjunctival bed and lamello-lamellar sclerokeratoplasty, was performed. Three years later the patient's visual acuity was 20/60 with no evidence of recurrence of the lesion. Frozen section guided excision with adjuvant cryotherapy and lamellar sclerokeratoplasty is a viable therapy for massive squamous cell carcinoma of cornea and conjunctiva.
