Use of impression cytology for the detection of unsuspected ocular surface squamous neoplasia cells in pterygia.
Purpose: To evaluate the agreement between the methodologies of impression cytology (IC) and histopathology regarding epithelial lesions clinically diagnosed as pterygium and also regarding the detection of unsuspected and associated ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN). Methods: Thirty-two Brazilian patients were included and IC was performed on all pterygia before excision. Histopathogica...

متن کاملImpression cytology following mitomycin C therapy for ocular surface squamous neoplasia.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Topical mitomycin C (MMC) therapy has been used for treatment of ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) since 1994. Relatively few studies have reported the cellular changes in ocular surface following MMC. METHODS Impression cytology was studied in four patients with ocular surface squamous neoplasia, either primary or recurrence after previous excisional biopsy. The author...

متن کاملOcular Surface Squamous Neoplasia
The ocular surface is composed of the conjunctiva and the cornea. The conjunctiva is a mucous membrane which covers the globe and inner part of the eyelids. The morphology of conjunctival epithelial cells are nonkeratinized stratified epithelia which vary from cuboidal over the tarsus, to columnar in the fornices, to squamous epithelia on the globe. Goblet cells account for up to 10% of the bas...
