The study reviewed electronic medical records (EMRs) of 99 eyes of 99 South Indian patients who underwent en bloc excision and biopsy for tumors in the corneal and conjunctival epithelium with suspicion of OSSN over 1 year from January 2019 to December 2019. Postoperatively, patients were treated with three cycles of topical 0.04% mitomycin C eye drops. Sixty-three had requisite EMR data with a follow-up period of 1 year.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients had equal gender distribution with an age range of 28\u201383 years.
