abstract: An 11-year old girl presented with a painless fleshy lesion involving the plica, caruncle and medial bulbar and palpebral conjnctiva of the right eye since birth. The patient underwent debulking and cryotherapy. Biopsy showed lymphatic vessels lined with one flattened layer of endothelial cells devoid of smooth muscles or pericytes.
