Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Dermatopathology

Background:

  • Tarsal fibromas are rare benign tumors originating from the tarsal plate of the eyelid.
  • Differential diagnosis of eyelid lesions is crucial for appropriate management.

Observation:

  • A case of an isolated solid lesion on the tarsal conjunctival surface of the upper eyelid was observed.

Findings:

  • Excisional biopsy and histopathological evaluation confirmed the lesion as a fibroma of the left upper tarsus.
  • Positive trichrome stains supported the diagnosis of fibroma.
  • The patient experienced no recurrence after a one-year follow-up.

Implications:

  • Tarsal fibroma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of eyelid tumors.
  • Complete surgical excision appears to be an effective treatment for tarsal fibroma.
  • This case contributes to the limited literature on tarsal fibromas.
