Sarcomatoid Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Conjunctiva: A Rare Entity and A Brief Review of Literature
Keyword(s):
Sacrcomatoid variant of squamous cell carcinoma has been known to involve numerous tissues like an aerodigestive tract, skin. A reddish mass of the left bulbar conjunctiva, with intraocular extension on ultra-bio-microscopy (UBM) was present. Histopathologic examination showed the characteristic spindle-shaped cells in continuity with the overlying epithelium with positive immunostains for cytokeratin, epithelial membrane antigen and vimentin. The presence of such an entity in the conjunctiva is rare and here we report such a case, this being the 37th case to be documented in literature. We also give a brief review of literature.
