An Isolated Conjunctival Capillary Hemangioma Masquerading as Ocular Surface Squamous Neoplasia

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to report a case of isolated subconjunctival capillary hemangioma, masquerading as ocular
surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) in a 58-year-old lady. Conjunctival hemangioma over the age of 58 is rare, with few
cases reported in the literature. Here, we present an interesting case of spontaneous development of this tumor at age 58,
without associated systemic disease process or cutaneous manifestations. This female presented with complaints of isolated
elevated vascular nodular lesions with feeder vessels in superior-temporal bulbar portion of left eye. Provisional diagnosis of
left eye OSSN was made. Wide excisional biopsy with cryotherapy was performed for the left eye. Histopathology report of
the lesion showed subconjunctival capillary hemangioma with no malignancy. The patient did not show any recurrence
of lesion in the left eye at 2-month follow-up.
