A rare conjunctival fibroma presented as a nodular epibulbar mass in an adult woman. This benign tumor can mimic malignant growths, making diagnosis challenging.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Epibulbar masses require careful evaluation due to potential malignancy.
  • Conjunctival fibromas are uncommon benign tumors of the eye.

Observation:

  • A nodular, epibulbar mass was observed in an adult female patient.
  • The mass appeared without preceding inflammation or trauma.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision and subsequent pathological examination confirmed the mass as a conjunctival fibroma.
  • The fibroma exhibited characteristics that closely resembled other benign and malignant ocular tumors.

Implications:

  • The clinical diagnosis of conjunctival fibroma can be elusive due to its rarity and variable presentation.

  • Increased awareness of conjunctival fibromas is crucial for accurate differential diagnosis in epibulbar lesions.
  • This case highlights the importance of histopathological examination for definitive diagnosis of ocular surface tumors.
