Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg. 2013 Mar-Apr;29(2):e43-4. doi: 10.1097/IOP.0b013e3182696592.

Abstract

A 25-year-old woman presented with a painless inferomedial subconjunctival mass in the right eye. The growth had been present since birth and had been increasing in size for over 1 year. Incisional biopsy with debulking proved the lesion to be a dermolipoma extending behind the globe that contained ectopic lacrimal gland tissue. The authors describe a very rare case of a complex dermolipoma arising in an atypical location and containing ectopic lacrimal gland.
