An 83-year-old white man presented with a rapidly growing conjunctival mass in his left eye over the course of 1 month. While awaiting surgical intervention, the tumour underwent partial, spontaneous regression to half its original size. The lesion was ultimately excised with wide margins using a no-touch technique and application of cryotherapy to the corneal and conjunctival margins and scleral bed. Histopathological analysis revealed a conjunctival keratoacanthoma. To our knowledge, this is the first case documenting the partial, spontaneous regression of a conjunctival keratoacanthoma over a 5 week time course from the time of diagnosis to surgical excision.
一名83岁的白人男性在1个月内左眼出现迅速生长的结膜肿物。在等待手术干预期间,肿瘤部分自发消退至原来大小的一半。最终采用无接触技术,对角膜、结膜边缘及巩膜床进行冷冻治疗,将病变广泛切除。组织病理学分析显示为结膜角化棘皮瘤。据我们所知,这是首例记录结膜角化棘皮瘤从诊断到手术切除的5周时间内出现部分自发消退的病例。
