Limbal papilloma with massive corneal extension.
The authors report a case of limbal papilloma with extensive corneal involvement. The limbal lesion was excised completely, leaving a clear corneal bed. Histopathologically, the lesion was found to be a limbal papilloma. Massive superficial involvement of the cornea by papilloma is rare. Simple excision is effective in treating the condition with restoration of vision and cosmesis.
