It is an uncommon malignant neoplasm, and there are several reports describing the multiple clinical and histopathological presentations of SCC. Given its rarity, diagnosing SCC remains a challenge for ophthalmologists and pathologists, especially when conducting incisional biopsies. A 66-year-old male presented with a recurrent right upper eyelid mass for 4 years. The lesion recurred 4 times, and a biopsy was performed twice. In the first biopsy, a mild cell atypia was observed; the second biopsy was negative for atypia or cancerous cells. The patient was followed-up closely and in the 4th recurrence, a full thickness biopsy was performed. Histopathologically, areas of well-differentiated SCC were observed, as well areas of poorly differentiated SCC resembl.. View More»
