Conjunctival papillomas are common tumors, primarily affecting males aged 20-39. These growths often appear medially and inferiorly on the conjunctiva.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oncology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Conjunctival papilloma is a common ocular tumor.
  • Understanding its characteristics is crucial for diagnosis and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the morphological and clinical characteristics of conjunctival papilloma.
  • To analyze epidemiological data related to conjunctival papilloma.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 245 conjunctival papilloma specimens from 219 patients (1983-1997).
  • Data collected included patient demographics, papilloma characteristics (number, seasonality, duration, recurrence), location, and presence of dysplasia or inflammation.

Main Results:

  • Males constituted 60.3% of patients; peak incidence was in the 20-39 age groups.

  • Most papillomas were medial and inferior; 40% showed inflammation and 6% displayed dysplasia.
  • Recurrence was observed in 11% of patients, with 6% having multiple concurrent papillomas.

    • Conclusions:

    • Conjunctival papilloma is a frequent tumor with a higher incidence in males aged 20-39.
    • The tumor predominantly presents medially and inferiorly.
    • Inflammation and dysplasia are notable associated findings.
