Abstract: Our patient was a 34 year-old male who presented with a painless conjunctival mass that had developed 3 months before his first visit. On performing slit-lamp biomicroscopy, a lobulated pink-yellowish solid mobile mass was observed on the nasal bulbar conjunctival surface of his left eye. The tumor was excised, and histopathologic examination of the tumor revealed a sebaceous adenoma. Systemic examination was normal. No recurrence was observed during the 24-month follow-up period. Sebaceous adenoma of the bulb… Show more

“…The ability of mature, fully differentiated conjunctival epithelium to spawn benign and malignant sebaceous tumors is consistent with its embryologic role in providing sebaceous glands and vellus hairs for the caruncle. A latent capacity to undergo sebaceous differentiation obviously must persist into adulthood, as exemplified by the current lesion and previous reports of "ectopic" epibulbar and tarsal sebaceous tumors [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. The multipotentiality of the conjunctival epithelium is also exemplified by an epibulbar dacryoadenoma [24].…”

“…A subset of various sebaceous tumors, however, may arise from the epibulbar and tarsal conjunctival surface epithelium in areas lacking sebaceous glands on a normal anatomic basis [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. The vast majority of sebaceous lesions are hyperplasias, adenomas, sebaceomas, and carcinomas [1,2,[14][15][16].…”
