Conjunctival Squamous Cell Carcinoma (CSCC) is one of the important ocular surface tumors. It is thought to be more advanced in this part of the world such as in Saudi Arabia. The Squamous Spindle Cell Carcinoma (SSCC) is a more aggressive variant. A single case of spindle squamous cell carcinoma tumor-related death due to bone and lung metastasis has been reported in Sweden in 1995. We are reporting a similar case of SSCC of the conjunctiva with eventual death because of bilateral lung metastasis in our area. Proper identification of this type of tumor by ocular pathologists and the need for future detailed clinicopathologic studies on CSCC in Saudi Arabia is emphasized.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
