Abstract
Worldwide squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the conjunctiva is a rare malignancy; however, it is reported to be the
most common malignant tumour of the ocular surface. Its incidence varies between 0.02 and 3.5/100.000. We report a
case of squamous cell carcinoma of conjunctiva presented with triangular pedunculated mass of left eye of 75 years old
female. It is diagnosed on FNAC and confirmed on histopathological examination after excision. On analyzing the data
of FNA done (19150) and biopsies received (23158) in 5 years in the department of pathology, we found only five cases
of eye region came for FNA while 25 biopsies of eye region received and diagnosed rightly. Out of all these cases, this
is the only case of squamous cell carcinoma of conjunctiva in this study. Incidence of SCC of conjunctiva in our
retrospective study of data of total pathological biopsies received found to be 4.3/100000.
