To describe the anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) appearance of conjunctival papilloma and identify differentiating features from papilliform ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN).
A retrospective chart review of individuals clinically diagnosed with conjunctival papilloma (n = 10) or papilliform OSSN (n = 10) based on slit lamp features. Data on demographics, tumour characteristics, and primary treatment were collected. AS-OCT features were assessed including epithelial thickness and reflectivity, a corrugated epithelial surface, presence of an overhanging edge, presence of intrinsic spaces and posterior shadowing. Histopathology was available in 5 papilloma and 3 OSSN specimens.
Overall, the majority of individuals in both groups were white males. OSSN lesions were more likely to involve the limbus (80% vs.10%, p = 0.005) and the bulbar conjunctiva (100% vs. 20%, p < 0.001) compared to papillomas. On AS-OCT, maximum epithelial thickness was thicker in papilloma compared to OSSN (936 ± 533 vs. 637 ± 207 µm, p = 0.009). The feature that best differentiated papilloma from OSSN was an overhanging edge (100% vs. 0%, p < 0.001), where the epithelial lesion was seen on top of underlying normal epithelium. Other features more common in papilloma compared to OSSN included a corrugated epithelial surface (70% vs.10%, p = 0.02), the presence of intrinsic spaces (100% vs. 50%, p = 0.03), and posterior shadowing (100% vs. 40%, p = 0.01).
AS-OCT shows differentiating features between papilloma and OSSN with an overhanging edge as a distinctive AS-OCT feature of papilloma.
描述结膜乳头瘤的眼前节光学相干断层扫描(AS-OCT)表现,并确定其与乳头样眼表鳞状上皮瘤(OSSN)的鉴别特征。
回顾性分析基于裂隙灯特征临床诊断为结膜乳头瘤(n=10)或乳头样 OSSN(n=10)的患者的病历。收集人口统计学、肿瘤特征和主要治疗数据。评估 AS-OCT 特征,包括上皮厚度和反射率、上皮表面褶皱、悬垂边缘、固有空间和后部阴影。5 例乳头瘤和 3 例 OSSN 标本均有组织病理学检查。
两组患者中,大多数为白人男性。与乳头瘤相比,OSSN 病变更可能累及角膜缘(80%比 10%,p=0.005)和球结膜(100%比 20%,p<0.001)。AS-OCT 检查中,乳头瘤的上皮最大厚度大于 OSSN(936±533 比 637±207μm,p=0.009)。能够将乳头瘤与 OSSN 区分开的最佳特征是悬垂边缘(100%比 0%,p<0.001),即上皮病变位于下方正常上皮之上。与 OSSN 相比,更常见于乳头瘤的其他特征包括上皮表面褶皱(70%比 10%,p=0.02)、固有空间(100%比 50%,p=0.03)和后部阴影(100%比 40%,p=0.01)。
AS-OCT 显示了乳头瘤和 OSSN 之间的鉴别特征,悬垂边缘是乳头瘤的独特 AS-OCT 特征。
