Abstract Purpose To evaluate clinical characteristics, treatments, and outcomes in patients with ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) at a tertiary center in Northern Thailand. Methods Patients diagnosed with either corneal-conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) or squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) from May 2000 to December 2015, were recruited. The patients’ demographics, symptoms, clinical characteristics, cytopathology, treatments, and outcomes were reviewed. Results Overall 171 eyes from 168 patients, 92 eyes were CIN and 79 eyes were SCC. Males were affected in 65.5%. The mean age was 58.8 ± 16.8 (29–99) years. In most cases (60.3%), the tumors were located at the limbus. The most common clinical characteristic was papilliform appearance (46.2%). Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection was found in 37 (22.0%) patients with a mean age of 40.5 ± 7.7 years. The treatments and outcomes were evaluated in 136 eyes whose main initial treatment was wide excision with adjunctive cryotherapy (47.8%), followed by topical mitomycin C (30.9%). The mean follow-up time after treatment was 20.8 ± 2.2 (3–110) months and the recurrence occurred in 18 eyes (13.2%) during the follow-up period. The mean recurrence-free time (months) for CIN was significantly longer than that of SCC (81.3 ± 10.0 [95%CI 61.5 – 101.1] vs 33.2 ± 4.6 [95%CI 24.0 – 42.3], p = 0.030). SCC was the only significant risk factor that influences the recurrence of the tumors with the adjusted hazard ratio of 5.69 (p = 0.005). Conclusion OSSN in Northern Thailand usually involved a limbal area and presented as a papilliform mass. HIV infection should be suspected in young patients. CIN had better outcomes after treatments than invasive SCC. |
