Abstract

A nodular, epibulbar mass appearing in an adult woman without antecedent inflammation or injury prompted concern for possible malignancy. Excision was performed, and pathologic examination demonstrated a conjunctival fibroma. The rarity of the fibroma and its clinical similarity to other benign or malignant tumors render its clinical diagnosis elusive.
