    Abstract:

    An otherwise healthy man, 37-year-old, presented to eye clinic with 5 months history of a painless but rapidly enlarging lesion in his right eye. Ocular examination showed a whitish pedunculated mass located at the temporal limbus in the interpalpebral region of his right eye. The mass was excised surgically and the histopathological examination revealed a well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. This case showed an unusual occurrence of conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma in a young healthy Asian patient residing in tropical climate. Chronic sunlight exposure is a major risk factor. Any ocular surface lesion must be carefully evaluated for proper diagnosis and treatment.
