Two Cases of Giant Subconjunctinl Lipoma

• Lee JR

Abstract

In this paper I report two cases of subconjunctival lipoma in a 16 years old female and in a 12 years old male. The diagnosis was made on the basis of clinical and histopathological findings. Histopathologically the lipoma was composed of several groups of mature fat cells separated from other groups by delicate fibrovascular septae. Lipoma is a benign tumor occurring frequently in the orbit, but they were very large in size and in case 2 the mass had spreaded over the both tarsal conjunctiva and retrobulbar spaces which wasJmpossible to be removed completely.
