Abstract
Squamous cell carcinomas of the conjunctiva are either limbal or, less often, truly conjunctival. Four rare forms of this type of neoplasm are described and illustrated:
-
1.
The squamous cell carcinoma of the limbus invading the eye
-
2.
The papillary carcinoma of the limbus
-
3.
The nodular carcinoma of the bulbar and the palpebral conjunctiva, and
-
4.
The diffuse carcinoma of the palpebral conjunctiva.
