Conjunctival Intraepithelial Neoplasia with Mucoepidermoid Differentiation: A Case Report of a Subtle Lesion

Conclusion: MCC is an aggressive tumor that has a tendency to be invasive and recur after treatment. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment is critical. CIN with mucoepidermoid differentiation may represent the earliest stage of MCC. It can present subtly, with a clinical resemblance to benign and less aggressive ocular surface lesions. Imaging with UHR OCT may be helpful to detect early neoplasia. A high level of suspicion must be maintained when evaluating potential ocular surface tumors.Ocul Oncol Pathol 2015;1:278-282
