Abstract
This report is based on the case of a young 7-year-old child who presented with a four-month history of raised superior conjunctival lesions in both eyes and subsequently underwent a conjunctival biopsy in the right eye. He was not known to have any underlying congenital disorders and subsequent biopsy revealed an epithelium consisting of irregular, ectatic thin-walled channels lined by a bland single layered epithelium which expressed both CD31 and D240. No Cytokeratin (Cam 5.2) or EMA was expressed in the subsequent report. It was concluded that the features highlighted were likely due to an underlying conjunctival lymphangioma or haemangioma – which we will explore further.
