Background:
Oncocytoma is an uncommon, relatively benign tumor, composed of transformed epithelial cells of the ducts. We report a case of oncocytoma of the caruncle.
Methods:
Case report.
Results:
A 51-year-old woman with a 2 years history of a mass located in the caruncle of her right eye was presented. Surgical excision was then performed, and the histological diagnosis of oncocytoma was established.
Conclusion:
The oncocytoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a caruncular mass in elderly people, particularly in female patients.
