To summarize actual knowledge on epidemiology, etiology, pathology, clinical apparence and treatment of ocular surface squamous neoplasias. We summarize up-to-date literature on conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia and invasive squamous cell carcinoma and present some own cases. Ocular surface squamous neoplasia is the most common malignant ocular surface tumor and the third most common ocular malignancy following malignant melanoma and lymphoma. In spite of its low malignant potential, in advanced stages it may reduce visual acuity significantly or even the eye globe has to be removed. In case of metastasis it may also be life-threatening. As local recurrences of ocular surface squamous neoplasias may occur, knowledge of intra- and postoperative adjuvant treatment options are indispensable and regular control examinations are necessary. Identification and adequate treatment of ocular surface squamous neoplasias are necessary in order to avoid its progression and to prevent recurrences. Orv Hetil. 2017; 158(51): 2011-2022.
