Recurrent conjunctival atypical fibroxanthoma in Pigmentosum Xeroderma
2017
Abstract Case report A 7 year-old boy with xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) and who presents a recurrent conjunctival atypical fibroxanthoma after two surgeries. This is the third procedure and the patient is treated with a surgical excision of the tumor and cryotherapy at the surgical bed. Due to the risk of recurrence, topical Mitomycin C 0.02% was added at post-operative care achieving a good clinical outcome. Discussion Surgical excision with cryotherapy and topical Mitomycin C is an effective treatment for a case of an atypical fibroxanthoma with a high potential for recurrence and invasion. An ophthalmologic follow-up is required for these patients, as well as general pediatric care and support aids.
