To evaluate the clinical efficacy of topical mitomycin C (MMC) 0.04% in the treatment of recurrent corneal intraepithelial neoplasia.
A 71-year-old man presented with a limbal tumor that had extended onto the inferior temporal quadrant of the left cornea. Superficial lamellar sclerokeratectomy was performed to remove the tumor, which was histopathologically demonstrated to be a corneal intraepithelial neoplasia. Fifteen months after the surgical excision, the tumor recurred at the previous keratectomy site. The patient was treated topically with 0.04% MMC four times daily for 2 weeks, during which time he only had a mild degree of conjunctival hyperemia and ocular pain.
The tumor resolved completely after 2 weeks of treatment and did not recur during the 10-month follow-up.
Topical MMC may be an effective alternative treatment for recurrent corneal intraepithelial neoplasia and deserves further evaluation.
评估0.04%的局部用丝裂霉素C(MMC)治疗复发性角膜上皮内瘤的临床疗效。
一名71岁男性患者,其角膜缘肿瘤已蔓延至左眼角膜颞下象限。进行了浅层板层巩膜角膜切除术以切除肿瘤,组织病理学检查证实为角膜上皮内瘤。手术切除15个月后,肿瘤在先前的角膜切除术部位复发。患者局部应用0.04%的MMC,每日4次,持续2周,在此期间,他仅出现轻度结膜充血和眼痛。
治疗2周后肿瘤完全消退,在10个月的随访期间未复发。
局部应用MMC可能是复发性角膜上皮内瘤的一种有效替代治疗方法,值得进一步评估。
