Abstract

A 70-year-old Indian female presented with a lobulated, violet-colored mass in the left eye involving the medial bulbar conjunctiva and caruncle. It was smooth, vascular, compressible, and freely mobile. It was neither reducible nor pulsatile and did not cause any proptosis or dystopia. Any syndromic associations and orbital extension of the lesion were ruled out. Excisional biopsy was performed, and histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma of conjunctiva involving the caruncle.
