A 70 year-old woman
presented with a one-year history of right red eye and a fleshy lesion
arising from the temporal bulbar conjunctiva. The appearance was typical of
a benign conjunctival papilloma. However, to avoid misdiagnosis, the excised
lesion was sent for histology as conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma may
masquerade as papilloma.
Right conjunctival papilloma impairing
complete eyelid closure.
