[Conjunctival cyst of the inferior fornix. Apropos of a case].
Conjunctival cystic lesions are not uncommon and may arise anywhere in the conjunctiva, although the inferior fornix is one of the most frequent sites. We report the case of a 5 year-old-male black patient who underwent surgical excision of an unusually large conjunctival cyst of the inferior left fornix. The histopathological study showed that the cyst border was lined by a conjunctival epithelium, consistent with a conjunctival inclusion cyst.
