The trend of ocular surface squamous neoplasia among ocular surface tumour biopsies submitted for histology from Sekuru Kaguvi Eye Unit, Harare between 1996 and 2000.

Abstract

OSSN is the commonest tumour of the ocular surface whose primary site is the conjunctiva. Its prevalence in Zimbabwe is on the increase and it has a predilection for females over males. Further studies on the natural history, treatment and patient profile would pave a way to better quality of patient care and establish its association with HIV/AIDS.
