Keratosis conjunctiva of unknown significance: a case report

Abstract Background Cutaneous hornis a relatively uncommon neoplasm of the eyelid skin, frequently observed in exposed areas such as the extremities, head, and face. However, its etiology remains incompletely elucidated. Case presentation We report the case of a 32-year-old Asian female patient who presented with corneal mass of right eye of 10 years duration. She was examined and underwent excision, with biopsy showing cornea cutaneous horn. Conclusion The mass is benign and exhibits a slow growth pattern. However, post-removal, the mass demonstrated recurrent enlargement. It is hypothesized that the disease may bear resemblance to solar keratosis. Consequently, the etiology remains uncertain and further investigation is warranted.
