Abstract

A 60-year-old woman presented with a fleshy mass growing in the left eye for 6 months. The mass was small of the size of a pea to begin with, which slowly progressed to its present size over the past 6 months. Examination under diffuse light showed gelatinous, fleshy, flat mass greyish pink in color covering the superior 3/4th of the cornea with well-defined borders extending up to the limbus 270 degrees circumferentially. Dilated and tortuous feeder vessels were noted on the temporal, bulbar conjunctiva. She tested negative for HIV 1&2. Since the mass was involving most of the cornea including the limbus, she was advised topical immunotherapy followed by surgical excision of the residual lesion. She was treated with Interferon alpha-2b 1 million IU/ML eye drops 4 times a day for three months. At the 3-month follow up the lesion completely regressed without leaving any residual mass or corneal opacity.
