Abstract
A patient with recurrent conjunctival mucoepidermoid carcinoma was treated successfully with surgical excision of the tumor and fractionated epibulbar I-125 plaque radiotherapy. Local excision with fractionated epibulbar plaque radiotherapy is an effective means of eradication in select cases of recurrent mucoepidermoid carcinomas of the conjunctiva. This treatment may avoid more aggressive surgical treatment and preserve vision.
