Abstract
We studied nucleolar organizers (Ag-NORS) in 20 cases of ocular limbic tumours of which 7 were Bowen disease or intraepithelial carcinoma an d 13 were invasive carcinomas. The NOR-Index, reflecting cellular acti vity, increased from intraepithelial carcinoma (3, 97) to microinvasiv e (5, 45) and invasive carcinoma (5, 81). Results of Nor-Index, reflec ting proliferation, was in agreement with other technics such as immun o-labelling with K(i67) and PCNA antibodies.
