Abstract

PURPOSE
Fibroepithelial polyps on the eyelid or orbit have not been previously reported in Korea. Herein, we report our experience 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 examination 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.

Key Words: Eyelid mass;Fibroepithelial polyp
