[Two cases of dermolipoma].

Area of Science:

• Ophthalmology
• Oncology

Background:

• Dermolipoma is a rare, congenital benign conjunctival tumor.
• It can be mistaken for orbital fat prolapse or limbal dermoid.
• Potential postoperative complications include blepharoptosis, diplopia, and dry eye.

Observation:

• Two cases of suspected dermolipoma were analyzed.
• Tumors were located on the conjunctiva, not the limbus, and did not change with ocular pressure.
• No associated external ear, facial, or cervical abnormalities were noted.

Findings:

• Surgical excision of dermolipoma was performed in both cases.
• Tumors were successfully removed without conjunctival loss.
• No postoperative complications were observed in either patient.

Implications:

• Recognizing dermolipoma's distinct characteristics aids in accurate diagnosis.
• Minimizing conjunctival trauma during surgery is crucial for preventing symblepharon.
• Preserving conjunctival tissue is key to favorable surgical outcomes for dermolipoma.
