title: Conjunctival eyelashes: a rare presentation of dermoid.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe a previously unreported presentation of a conjunctival dermoid.
  
  
  METHODS
  An 8-year-old girl presented with a progressively enlarging mass in the right conjunctival fornix composed of normal appearing eyelashes. The patient had a history of aberrant conjunctival eyelash growth that had caused recurrent conjunctivitis in her right eye over the past few years. The mass was surgically removed and the pathology report revealed it to be a conjunctival dermoid. The patient had an excellent surgical result with normal cosmetic appearance.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Mature hair follicle growth from the conjunctiva is another possible presentation of a conjunctival dermoid that can be cured by simple surgical excision.
