Abstract
Squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva is a rare tumour with a multifactorial aetiology. There is strong epidemiological evidence that exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation is an important cause and that HIV infection predisposes to its development. The role of other factors, such as human papillomavirus infection, is unclear.Keywords
