Abstract
A 72-year-old man presented with a mass in the lower palpebral conjunctiva on the left side that recurred after biopsy at another clinic. On the first examination, a hard, yellow-white mass was located in the lower palpebral conjunctiva on the left side with some vessels running onto the tumor surface. A small piece of the tumor was removed for pathologic examination, and the results of the examination corresponded to folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma. The patient noticed reduction in size of the residual tumor at 3 weeks postbiopsy. Slit-lamp examination revealed considerable regression of the tumor. At 6 months of follow-up, the tumor did not recur.
