Benign fibrous histiocytoma

Indian J Ophthalmol. 2014 Apr;62(4):464-7. doi: 10.4103/0301-4738.132104.

Abstract

Fibrous histiocytomas (FHs) are mesenchymal tumors that may be benign or malignant. Ocular involvement by FHs is infrequent and primarily limited to the orbit. Rarely, FHs can also involve the conjunctiva and perilimbal area. We report the case of a 38-year-old male with lid, conjunctival, and neck FHs. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology.
