Predictors of Ocular Surface Squamous Neoplasia and Conjunctival Squamous Cell Carcinoma among Ugandan Patients: A Hospital-based Study.
The aim of the study was to assess the predictors of ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) and conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) among Ugandan patients. ⋯ HIV infection remained a risk factor for OSSN and particularly, SCC, but less so than in the past. Lesions' rough surface, six or more feeder vessels, and interpalpebral location increased OSSN risk. Only a rough tumor surface increased risk for SCC.
