Purpose This report describes a recurrent case of ocular surface squamous neoplasia in a middle-aged and immunocompetent patient. Observations The summary of clinical presentation, workup, and medical and surgical intervention are described, followed by a brief overview of the treatment challenges associated with superiorly located conjunctival lesions. Conclusions In cases where topical chemotherapeutic drops cannot penetrate the lesion, the location of conjunctival lesions can sometimes pose a challenge. Hence, injections in such cases might be preferred. However, histopathology still plays a significant role in achieving a definitive diagnosis.
