Abstract

Conjunctival lymphangiectasia is a rare ocular condition characterized by dilated lymphatic vessels in the conjunctiva. Patients may experience symptoms such as foreign-body sensation, congestion, and irritation or may remain asymptomatic. We present the case of a 61-year-old female who presented with a painless, elevated lesion on her right eye's conjunctiva. The diagnosis of conjunctival lymphangiectasia was confirmed through clinical examination and histopathological analysis. This case report highlights this uncommon ocular disorder's clinical features, diagnostic approach, and management.
