Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Epibulbar tumors are growths on the surface of the eye.
  • Hemangiopericytoma is a rare vascular tumor that can occur in various locations.

Observation:

  • A 28-year-old male presented with a 5-year history of a growing, firm, red epibulbar nodule.
  • Clinical presentation mimicked other benign ocular surface lesions.

Findings:

  • Excisional biopsy confirmed an encapsulated hemangiopericytoma.
  • Histopathology revealed a well-defined, benign neoplastic process.

Implications:

  • Epibulbar hemangiopericytoma demonstrates a favorable prognosis following complete surgical resection.
  • Early detection and treatment, potentially due to conspicuous presentation, contribute to positive outcomes.
