Conjunctival epithelial carcinoma in a 9-year-old child with Xeroderma Pigmentosum

We report the case of a conjunctival tumor in a 9-year-old patient, sufferi ng from Xeroderma Pigmentosum. Our patient presented a raspberry-colored co njunctival tumor. The tumor was resecked without any additional treatment. The histological study revealed squamous cell carcinoma. A suspicion of rel apse appeared two months later of the same location and a new resection was performed. The initial checkup of this tumor was negative. In this disease, ocular localizations are frequent. The conjunctiva, the co rnea, the eyelids and, into a lesser extent, the orbit can be involved. Bas al cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are the most frequent tumors observed in Xeroderma Pigmentosum. Their treatment is mainly surgical.
