ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Keratoacanthomas rarely occur in the conjunctiva. We report a case of a 24-year-old man with a rapidly growing conjunctival mass. The tumor was excised with a safety margin to exclude squamous cell carcinoma and was histopathologically diagnosed as a keratoacanthoma. There has been no recurrence over 2 years of follow-up. To the best of our knowledge, he is the youngest patient to be diagnosed with conjunctival keratoacanthoma who had no known risk factors such as skin disorders, trauma, surgery, or infection. In similar cases, we recommend complete early surgical excision and careful follow-up to exclude malignancy.
RESUMO
RESUMO Ceratoacantoma raramente ocorre na conjuntiva. Nós relatamos o caso de um homem de 24 anos de idade, com uma massa conjuntival de rápido crescimento. O tumor foi retirado com uma margem de segurança para excluir carcinoma de células escamosas. Ele foi diagnosticado histopatologicamente como sendo ceratoacantoma. Não houve recidiva em dois anos de seguimento. Ele é o paciente mais jovem com ceratoacantoma conjuntival que não tinham fatores de risco conhecidos como doenças de pele a ser descrito. Em casos semelhantes, recomendamos excisão cirúrgica precoce completo e um acompanhamento cuidadoso para excluir malignidade.
