Case Report
The great masquerader-a case of squamous cell carcinoma of tarsal conjunctiva
Abstract
A 70 year old man complained to us of a big, friable mass from the upper lid of the left eye. The mass was gradually increasing in size and was causing drooping of the upper eyelid. The excision of the mass was planned and sent for biopsy and it was found to be squamous cell carcinoma. The presentation was atypical due to it’s location, so we chose to present this case.

Keywords : Squamous cell carcinoma, MMC, mitomycin-C, excision biopsy
