Title | Conjunctival papillomatous laesions : the same clinical aspect for different diagnosis |
Purpose | To show conjunctival lesions that look like papillomas and discuss their diagnose and their evolution |
Methods | Selected Case report |
Results | We describe and discuss the pictures of a rhabdomyosarcoma, a conjunctival in situ carcinoma in a papilloma, a conjunctival naevus and real papillomas . All patients underwent a complete ophthalmological examination. All lesions have been removed and analyzed by a pathologist. HPV status had been tested on papillomas. |
Conclusion | Be aware of the differential diagnosis and HPV status of a conjunctival papillomatous lesion and in doubt don’t hesitate to send the patient to a specialized team. |
