Squamous cell carcinoma of cornea.
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of isolated squamous cell carcinoma of cornea.


METHODS
It is an observational case report.


RESULTS
An 80-year-old man presented with decreased vision and a white gelatinous mass on his left cornea. Ocular examination revealed sparing of the limbus. There was no lymphadenopathy and no evidence of metastasis. The mass was excised completely with superficial keratectomy. Histopathology of the mass revealed it to be an invasive well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of cornea. Postoperatively mitomycin C (0.002%) eye drops were prescribed for 4 weeks. There has been no recurrence of the lesion till date.


CONCLUSIONS
Isolated squamous cell carcinoma of cornea, though a rare entity, should be kept in mind in patients with any corneal mass.
