Abstract:
A 46-year-old lady presented with progressively growing mass from the inner side of the right upper eyelid. The mass was elevated, pinkish with surface vessels, engulfing the puncta. Careful evaluation revealed a patent punctal opening. Excision biopsy of the mass was carried out. Histopathology showed pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia with few inflammatory cells. We describe a case of punctal pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia masquerading as a punctal granuloma or papilloma.

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.

The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...
