Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the effect of surgical wide excision and amniotic membrane transplantation with adjuvant mitomycin C 0.04% eye drops on recurrent conjunctival–corneal intraepithelial neoplasia (CCIN). Methods: The authors applied amniotic membrane transplantation after total surgical excision of a tumor to a patient with recurrent conjunctival–corneal intraepithelial neoplasia. The tumor co-existed as a conjunctival lesion and corneal opacity. After one week, the patient received mitomycin C 0.04% eye drops four times a day for one month to prevent recurrence. Ocular complications and recurrence were evaluated under slit lamp microscopy for one year. Results: Corneal epithelium completely healed within one week after the surgery. Both conjunctival and corneal lesions were completely regressed and no recurrence has been found with follow-up to 24 months. Conclusions: Surgical wide excision and amniotic membrane transplantation with adjuvant topical MMC would be an effective treatment modality for treatment of recurrent CCIN.
