Atypical histopathology findings in presumed epibulbar cysticercosis

Description 

A 20-year-old young man presented with a painless epibulbar mass noted suddenly over the medial side of right eye (RE) 1 month back. Systemic history was insignificant and there was no history of trauma. On examination, visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes (B/E) with no limitation of ocular movements. On examination, a mass lesion measuring about 1 cm in its longest dimension was noted over the medial side of the RE, with no apparent compression effect (figure 1). Overlying conjunctiva was mildly oedematous and congested. The posterior extent of the mass could not be appreciated. Rest of the anterior and posterior segment examination of BE was within normal limits.
