摘要
The caruncle is an uncommon site for the occurrence of neoplasm despite its diverse histological composition of conjunctival, lacrimal, and skin tissues. The following case report describes a 66-year-old man who suffered from a primary undifferentiated carcinoma of the left caruncle. He remained well with no evidence of recurrence 24 months after a complete surgical excision. To our knowledge, this could represent the first case of undifferentiated carcinoma of the caruncle to be reported in the English literature. Early detection and complete excision for this type of lesion could lead to a satisfactory clinical outcome.
