The human papilloma virus (HPV) is a double-stranded DNA virus that infects the epithelium of skin and mucosa. Simple treatment of conjunctival papilloma is associated with recurrences, and while most medical therapy has met with limited success, interferon alpha 2b (IFN alpha2b) may be effective. In this report, we describe a 7-year-old child with severe, recurrent conjunctival papilloma who had complete regression of the papilloma after topical and intralesional IFN alpha2b with partial excision of the lesion.

Article Synopsis
  • High-resolution optical coherence tomography (HR-OCT) helps doctors see detailed pictures of eye surface problems, making it easier to diagnose and treat them.
  • It can show different types of issues like tumors and helps tell them apart, even when they look similar.
  • HR-OCT is important for doctors because it allows them to check how well treatments are working and keep an eye on any tumors that might grow back.
