Conjunctival Squamous Cell Carcinoma (CSCC) is one of the important ocular surface tumors. It is thought to be more advanced in this part of the world such as in Saudi Arabia. The Squamous Spindle Cell Carcinoma (SSCC) is a more aggressive variant. A single case of spindle squamous cell carcinoma tumor-related death due to bone and lung metastasis has been reported in Sweden in 1995. We are reporting a similar case of SSCC of the conjunctiva with eventual death because of bilateral lung metastasis in our area. Proper identification of this type of tumor by ocular pathologists and the need for future detailed clinicopathologic studies on CSCC in Saudi Arabia is emphasized.
结膜鳞状细胞癌(CSCC)是重要的眼表肿瘤之一。在世界的这一地区,如沙特阿拉伯,人们认为它更为常见。鳞状梭形细胞癌(SSCC)是一种侵袭性更强的变体。1995年瑞典曾报告过一例因骨和肺转移导致梭形鳞状细胞癌肿瘤相关死亡的病例。我们在此报告我们地区一例类似的结膜SSCC病例,该病例最终因双侧肺转移而死亡。强调了眼科病理学家对这类肿瘤的正确识别以及未来对沙特阿拉伯CSCC进行详细临床病理研究的必要性。
