J Med Assoc Thai. 2005 Nov:88 Suppl 9:S134-7.

Abstract

Objectives: To report two cases of isolated corneal intraepithelial neoplasia.

Material and method: The present study included 2 cases presenting with isolated corneal intraepithelial neoplasia. Both patients were treated by corneal epithelial scraping.

Results: The authors present the clinical picture and histopathological findings of 2 patients suffering from corneal intraepithelial neoplasia that did not arise from the corneoscleral limbus. Both patients showed no recurrence after treatment for a period of time.

Conclusion: Isolated corneal intraepithelial neoplasia is rare. Corneal scraping may be an effective treatment.
