title: Bilateral benign reactive lymphoid hyperplasia of the conjunctiva in a pediatric patient.
abstract: A 13-year-old boy presented with asymptomatic, bilateral, nasal bulbar conjunctival lesions. Excisional biopsy of the larger lesion showed a mature, mixed lymphocytic infiltrate with germinal centers, consistent with a diagnosis of benign reactive lymphoid hyperplasia, a rare condition in children.
