abstract: METHODS
  A 63 year-old man with a six month history of a red-orange lesion located in the caruncle of his right eye is presented. Surgical excision was then performed, and the histological diagnosis of oncocytoma was established.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The oncocytoma is an uncommon, relatively benign tumor, composed of transformed epithelial cells of the ducts. The histogenetic characteristics and prognosis are briefly discussed.
