Lacrimal Caruncle Nevus with Papilloma

Purpose: The aim of this article is to report a case of lacrimal caruncle nevus with papilloma. Methods: This is a case report of a 39-year-old female with a progressively enlarging pigmented lesion on the left lacrimal caruncle. She had been aware of a raised whitish wart on the top of this pigmented lesion for several months before her initial visit. Slit lamp examination revealed a papillomatous lesion over a well-circumscribed, pigmented lesion on the left lacrimal caruncle. Results: The histopathological examination of the excised tumor disclosed 2 characteristic findings, which include nests of nevus cells within the dermis and papillomatous structures which had fibrovascular cores overlying squamous cell epithelia with variable levels of acanthosis. The findings were consistent with an intradermal nevus and a papilloma arising from the conjunctival epithelium of the nevus. Conclusion: This is the first case report of a lacrimal caruncle nevus with papilloma. The clinical history and pathological findings of this case underscore the fact that an intradermal nevus primarily occurred on the lacrimal caruncle, after which a papilloma arose from the epithelium of the nevus as a consequence of human papillomavirus autoinoculation.
