Abstract
Conjunctival squamous papilloma is a benign tumor of presumed viral origin. Small sessile papillomas may regress spontaneously, but an extensive papilloma as seen in adults requires treatment [1]. Papillomas of the conjunctiva are however known for their high recurrence rate of 6–27% [2]. Several types of therapy have been described, including liquid nitrogen cryotherapy, cautery, diathermy, irradiation, and carbon dioxide laser treatment. Topical and systemic interferon have also been tried and found effective [3–6]. We report a case of recurrent papilloma treated successfully with surgical excision, amniotic membrane transplant, and topical interferon a-2b.
