Abstract EN
Aim.
The aim of this study was to carry out a retrospective clinicopathological analysis of the ocular lesions requiring biopsy seen in the Department of Histopathology, Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Keffi, in North Central Nigeria.
Materials and Method.
A retrospective review of the clinicopathologic profile of orbitoocular lesions diagnosed at the FMC, Keffi, was done.
Clinical and pathological data were obtained from the patients’ clinical records and original biopsy reports, respectively.
Results.
Sixty-six cases of orbitoocular lesions were reviewed for this study.
Of the 54 cases investigated, 28 were HIV negative while 26 were HIV positive (37.1% of all cases).
There were 30 cases of Ocular Surface Squamous Neoplasia (OSSN) with a male-to-female ratio of 0.9 : 1.
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) was the most frequent OSSN with 17 cases.
The mean age of cases of SCC is 37.1 ± 7.6 SD (years).
The mean age of carcinoma in situ is 35.8 ± 11.4 years.
Conclusion.
There was no significant difference in the sex distribution of patients with OSSN.
It is probable that a diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma may be encountered in about a year after diagnosis of a carcinoma in situ especially if the in situ carcinoma is left untreated or improperly treated.
