[Adenomatous hyperplasia of the conjunctiva].
We report a case of adenomatous hyperplasia of the conjunctiva. A 42-year-old man was referred for a left conjunctival lesion involving the caruncle; the histopathological patterns revealed benign adenomatous hyperplasia, a disease that may originate in the conjunctiva. Adenomatous hyperplasia of the conjunctiva is a benign condition. The absence of cytonuclear anomalies and mitotic activity distinguishes adenomatous hyperplasia from adenocarcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma.
