title: p53 protein overexpression in a case of conjunctival micro-invasive carcinoma.
abstract: We analysed by immunohistochemistry the expression of p53 protein in a case of micro-invasive carcinoma of the conjunctiva. About 50% of tumor cells showed a strong nuclear positivity for p53. This suggests that p53 gene alterations play a role in the development of this type of tumor.
