Abstract

We present the case of a 63-year-old patient who was hospitalized for pain and loss of vision in the right eye (RE). Clinical examination reveals a conjunctival tumor of 1.5/1 cm infiltrating the cornea and sclera. Biopsy and histopathological examination showed the existence of a spinocellular carcinoma.
