Abstract
Squamous cell conjunctival carcinomas (SCCC) are rare. We report on a 34-year-old patient with neurodermatitis and chronic conjunctivitis who presented with a therapy-resistant corneal ulcer induced by mechanical irritation diagnosed as SCCC. Chronic blepharoconjunctivitis seems to sustain the development of SCCC in patients with neurodermatitis because of their insufficient immune response.Entities:
