Abstract
This article reviews literature regarding corneal and conjunctival tumors and explores some of the causative factors, prognostic factors, and treatment options for melanocytic, neoplastic, and lymphoid tumors. A review of epibulbar choristomas and associated syndromes is also included. Newer treatments including excimer laser phototherapeutic keratectomy and topical mitomycin C for corneal intraepithelial neoplasia, microscopic control of tissue margins with sequential surgery for squamous cell carcinoma and cryotherapy for lymphoma are reviewed and compared with traditional therapy. Conjunctival mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is probably more common than previously realized. Recent findings of MALT lymphoma and the origin of conjunctival MALT is discussed.
