title: [Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the conjunctiva with intraocular invasion. Apropos of a case].
abstract: One case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the conjunctiva with intraocular invasion is described. Review of literature retrieve 15 cases of conjunctival localisation of mucoepidermoid carcinoma. These tumors appear to be locally aggressive, they all invade the intraocular or intraorbital structures. They require always a radical surgery with wide excision. Histopathologically, histochemical stains for glycoproteins confirm the diagnosis with admixture of squamous and mucus secreting cells.
