purpose: a 12 year-old boy and a known case of job’s syndrome presented with a large conjunctival mass which represented coexistence of hpv and hsv infections. case report: the presence of hpv virus within these lesions was confirmed by biopsy and dna analysis. the mass lesions did not respond to anti-hpv therapy with topical interferon-α2b, oral cimetidine and oral acyclovir, but improved prom...

Introduction. To report a case of a conjunctival metastasis as the initial manifestation of small cell lung cancer. Methods. Observational case report. Results. A 50-year-old man without known systemic disease developed a conjunctival mass in his right eye. He underwent incisional biopsy of the tumor and systemic evaluation. Histopathologically, the conjunctival mass was a metastatic small cell...

An asymptomatic fungal cyst of a conjunctival infection was found and removed by biopsy in a young shepherdess. Histopathologic evaluations of the excised tissue specimen from the lesion of the conjunctiva demonstrated an epithelium lined cavity containing a tangled mycelial mass that was surrounded by inflammatory cells and the fungus was identified as Bipolaris spicifera. It is concluded that...

PURPOSE To describe a previously unreported presentation of a conjunctival dermoid. CASE REPORT An 8-year-old girl presented with a progressively enlarging mass in the right conjunctival fornix composed of normal appearing eyelashes. The patient had a history of aberrant conjunctival eyelash growth that had caused recurrent conjunctivitis in her right eye over the past few years. The mass was...

BACKGROUND Conjunctival myxoma is a type of rare, benign tumor of mesenchymal cells, with fewer than 30 reported cases in the English literature. It is mostly an isolated occurrence but can sometimes be associated with systemic diseases such as Carney complex or Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It is necessary in clinical practice to differentiate it from other similar lesions, such as amelanotic ne...

Seborrheic keratosis is a benign epithelial neoplasia that occurs mainly in the skin of the eyelids and face. We describe a case of seborrheic keratosis of the conjunctiva confirmed by histopathology. A 72-year-old man presented with a recurrent conjunctival mass involving the nasal side of his right eye. Clinically, a diagnosis of conjunctival papilloma was made, and a mass excision was perfor...

Cellular blue nevus is an uncommon pigmented tumor in the conjunctiva, where it generally appears as a deep, circumscribed, pigmented conjunctival mass. We report a case of conjunctival blue nevus that clinically resembled primary acquired melanosis and gave rise to conjunctival melanoma. A 41-year-old man developed a diffuse pigmented mass in the inferior fornix of his left eye. Over a 20-year...

manifests clinically as a yellowish mass in the lateral corner of the eye, which becomes more evident with retropulsion of the globe. The imaging tests that can facilitate the diagnosis of subconjunctival fat prolapse are CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the orbits, the most important radiological finding being that of a mass with fat density or fat-like signal intensity, respectively...
