[Pseudotumor-like superficial conjunctival foreign body].
Pseudo-tumoral presentation of a superficial conjunctival foreign body. A 4-year-old girl was seen in consultation for an apparent conjunctival tumor of the inner canthus of the right eye. With a soft traction, the tumor was detached of the conjunctiva, as it represented in fact a foreign body. Histopathology helped to diagnose that the foreign body was made of textile fiber. Superficial conjunctival foreign bodies may sometimes appear difficult to identify primarily especially in children.
