ABSTRACT

Two cases of young HIV-negative clinically immunocompromised patients, with no history of prolonged actinic exposure or occupational risk, and diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva were presented. This is an unusual presentation in this type of injury that is more frequent after 60 years of age in people exposed to ultraviolet radiation or immunocompromised. Its incidence ranges 0,13 to 1,9 cases per 100,000 pop and ranks second infrequency of ocular malignancies. Excisional biopsy was performed with a 5 mm wide margin, cryotherapy in the borders of the lesion and amniotic membrane grafting were also performed in both cases, without tumor recurrence after two years of evolution.
