Conjunctival hemorrhagic lymphangiectasis.
Conjunctival hemorrhagic lymphangiectasis is a benign condition resulting from an abnormal communication between conjunctival lymphatics and conjunctival blood vessels. In this paper, two cases of conjunctival hemorrhagic lymphangiectasis are presented and the possible mechanisms giving rise to this entity are discussed. To aid in clinical differential diagnosis, a short discussion of conjunctival lymphangioma is also presented.
