title: Squamous spindle cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva. Fatal outcome of a plerygium-like lesion.
abstract: Squamous spindle cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva is an infrequent entity that behaves distinctly different from "ordinary' squamous cell carcinoma. This case report reviews the clinical and histopathological features of a lesion, that despite an insidious clinical appearance caused the patient's death 14 months following the initial excision. Data from previous reports are outlined.
