ABSTRACT
Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH) is characterized by proliferation of endothelial cells usually occurring within a long-standing vascular malformation or tumor. IPEH usually affects neck, head and lower extremities, and few orbital and eyelid cases have been reported. We present a unique case, a 48-years-old man with a purple, elevated, multilobular conjunctival lesion of three-weeks duration that underwent an excisional biopsy. Pathological features revealed intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (Masson's tumor).

La hiperplasia endotelial papilar intravascular (IPEH) se caracteriza por la proliferación de células endoteliales generalmente producida dentro de una malformación vascular previa o un tumor. La IPEH suele afectar cuello, cabeza y extremidades inferiores, se han publicado pocos casos en la órbita ocular y párpados. Presentamos un caso único, un hombre de 48 años con una lesión conjuntival púrpura, elevada y multilobular de tres semanas de duración que se sometió a una biopsia excisional. Las características patológicas revelaron una hiperplasia endotelial papilar intravascular (tumor de Masson) (AU)

A 3-month-old baby presented with a whitish lesion over the right cornea since birth. Due to the clinical and ultrasonic characteristics of the lesion, a manual anterior lamellar keratoplasty was performed. Histopathological examination showed it to be a simple grade II epibulbar choristoma. Although dermoid tumours are usually considered as benign, some of them, depending on their location, can seriously affect the vision of a paediatric patient. Due to the high probability of amblyopia in these cases, a surgical procedure is mandatory. Anterior lamellar keratoplasty is recommended when the visual axis is compromised without intraocular implications.

An 11 year-old girl presented with a recent growth pigmented conjuntival lesion in the bulbar conjunctiva of left eye. Due to the the biomicroscopic and ultrasound findings, an excisional biopsy was performed on the lesion using the «no touch¼ technique, as well as cryo-coagulation of surgical margins. Histopathological examination revealed an inflammatory compound nevus. Melanotic conjunctival tumours are mostly benign. However, the recent growth of a lesion, its vascularisation, irregularities of the margins, and colour change must suggest it has turned malignant. In such case, excision of the lesion is mandatory. Despite all the clinical changes, especially in young patients, it can still be an inflammatory compound nevus.
