ABSTRACT
We describe a rare case of a 58-year-old female with ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) in her left eye. She was treated for 12 months with topical interferon alpha-2b (IFNα-2b) eye drops and OSSN resolved completely. She presented with a whitish elevated lesion involving the cornea, limbus, and conjunctival surface after discontinuation of topical IFNα-2b. Excision biopsy along with amniotic membrane grafting was done to stabilize the ocular surface. Histopathological evaluation of the excised tissue revealed ocular surface inflammation with no evidence of malignancy.
