Abstract:
PURPOSE:Topical mitomycin C (MMC) administration is reportedly effective in treating ocular surface neoplasms such as squamous cell carcinoma. We treated a case of ocular epithelial dysplasia that had spread too diffusely to be completely removed. We examined the ultrastructure of and c-met (hepatocyte growth factor receptor) expression in dysplastic epithelial cells from this case to evaluate the efficacy of MMC treatment. METHODS:Specimens of dysplastic epithelial tissue from the corneo-limbal region of a 62-year-old man were obtained before and after topical application of MMC. Specimens were examined ultrastructurally and immunohistochemically with an antibody against human c-met. RESULTS:Following topical application of MMC, the dysplastic epithelium exhibited multilayered epithelial cells similar to those seen before treatment. However, ultrastructural examination showed tight interdigitation between neighboring cells, with no intercellular spaces. Also, the marked immunoreactivity to c-met in the dysplastic epithelial cells before MMC treatment was decreased after treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Ultrastructural observations indicated a restoration of epithelial cellular differentiation following MMC application. The expression of c-met protein was also reduced. Thus, topical MMC was effective in treating epithelial dysplasia of the ocular surface, with no recurrence 15 months post-therapy.
