Purpose:
To report a case of an isolated tarsal fibroma.
Methods:
Case report. Excisional biopsy and histopathological evaluation were performed on a solid lesion originating from the tarsal conjunctival surface of an upper eyelid.
Results:
Histopathological evaluation, including positive trichrome stains, was consistent with fibroma of the left upper tarsus. No recurrence has developed after a follow-up interval of a year.
Conclusion:
Tarsal fibroma is a rare condition that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of tarsal lesions.
