Abstract
Papillomas are benign tumors of human skin and mucous membranes caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). The virus causes abnormal epithelial cell growth. The formations vary in shape, size and location. The conjunctival papillomas are one of the most common benign tumors of the squamous epithelium of the conjunctiva. They rarely undergo malignant transformation. Purpose: To present a clinical case with proven atypical squamous papilloma of the conjunctiva. Materials: 58-year-old patient was admitted to the Eye Clinic of University Alexandrovska hospital for the first time. Methods: A complete ophthalmologic examination, ultrasonography, surgery and pathohistological diagnosis were performed. Results: Thorough excision of the tumor lesion in healthy tissue was performed. The pathological diagnosis revealed atypical squamous papilloma of the conjunctiva. Conclusion: The diagnosis can only be confirmed pathohistologically. A good relationship between ophthalmologist and pathologist is necessary for the successful diagnosis and subsequent treatment.
