title: [A case of fibrous histiocytoma of the conjunctiva].
abstract: The case of a 49-year old woman who developed fibrous histiocytoma of the conjunctiva is reported. Clinically, the lesion was tumoral, unpigmented and located in the corneo-scleral limbus. The lesion was excised, and the patient remained cured throughout the 4-year follow-up. Five other cases have been published, and in all of them cure without recurrence was obtained by excision.
