OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical presentation, diagnostic imaging, and treatment options of conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) with mucoepidermoid differentiation, an in situ stage of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the conjunctiva (MCC). RESULTS We report the case of an 86-year-old man presenting with a subtle limbal lesion that had only mild erythema and elevation. Based on a few at...

we are describing a new surgical approach in the management of advanced ocular surface cicatrization through a single procedure conjunctival-limbal-corneal allograft in which the external eye is resurfaced it involves a lamellar corneolimbal keratoplasty, 360° limbal stem cell transfer (on a “bipedicle” conjunctival-corneal carrier), and conjunctival tissue transplantation - all in a single con...

Information regarding this can be found in the English-language literature since 1992. Using either cellulose acetate or Biopore membranes for specimen c...
