Abstract
Case Report:
A 63 year-old man with a six month history of a red-orange lesion located in the caruncle of his right eye is presented. Surgical excision was then performed, and the histological diagnosis of oncocytoma was established.
Discussion:
The oncocytoma is an uncommon, relatively benign tumor, composed of transformed epithelial cells of the ducts. The histogenetic characteristics and prognosis are briefly discussed.
