Published: September 2000

Conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) are considered to be the third most common ocular tumour and the most common tumour of the ocular surface. Due to their malignant potential, they must be carefully differentially and promptly treated. A recurrence rate of approximately 30% leads to the need for monitoring of patients even after successful treatment. This article presents several cases of CIN and reviews their histopathology, aetiology, appearance, differential diagnosis and management. Typical patient presentations and prognoses are also discussed.

Aim: To evaluate the demographics, clinical characteristics, treatments, and outcomes of patients with ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) at the Philippine General Hospital.

Methods: This was a single-center, 11-year retrospective, cross sectional case series on 18 cases of OSSN seen between January 2012 to June 2023. The patient's demographics, presenting symptoms, tumor characteristics, histopathologic diagnosis, treatment, outcomes, and duration of follow-up were reviewed.

Background: In humans, the presence of an even distribution of melanocytes within the epidermal basal layer allows for uniform pigmentation in healthy and young individuals. Moreover, despite high variability in skin colours and tones, interindividual melanocyte density variability is low. However, dogs display a high intraindividual pigmentary variability in different anatomical areas.

Purpose: The purpose of this review is to explore the molecular foundations of ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN), focusing on the genetic and epigenetic aspects. While current management strategies include surgical excision and medical therapies, the understanding of OSSN's molecular basis remains limited, hindering the development of targeted treatments.

Methods: A comprehensive MEDLINE search was conducted for literature published between January 1993 and October 2023.
