Abstract

Conjunctival tumors have a varied spectrum of clinical presentation. These are often misdiagnosed as simulating conditions, resulting in inappropriate management. This course will provide a systematic overview of clinical manifestations of conjunctival tumors and discuss recent concepts in diagnosis, management and prognosis. Clinical evaluation of a patient with conjunctival tumor and typical and atypical manifestations will be demonstrated with cases. Anterior segment imaging techniques such as OCT, OCTA and UBM will be highlighted. Evidence-based treatment protocols will be elaborated. Indications for and outcome of newer treatment modalities, such as topical immunotherapy, chemotherapy and plaque brachytherapy, will be discussed. Standard surgical procedures will be demonstrated with vivid videos. This course is designed to enable participants to accurately diagnose, triage and appropriately manage common conjunctival tumors and optimize the outcome.
