Abstract

Purpose

Fibroepithelial polyps on the eyelid or orbit have not been previously reported in Korea. Herein, we report our experi-ence with a case of a primary localized fibroepithelial polyp of the eyelid.

Case summary

A 78-year-old male patient presented with a round mass on the lower eyelid which has been noticed 1 week prior. There was no pain and no tenderness. The mass was removed and excisional biopsy was performed. Histopathologic ex-amination revealed findings suggestive of a fibroepithelial polyp. There was no local recurrence during 4 months of follow-up.

Conclusions

Fibroepithelial polyp should be considered when determining the type of eyelid mass.

Keywords: Eyelid mass, Fibroepithelial polyp
