Benign limbal mass masquerading as ocular surface squamous neoplasia

Abstract

We report a case of a progressively increasing temporal limbal mass in a 45-year-old man. The patient was initially diagnosed with ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) based on the clinical features, and an excision biopsy was performed. Histopathological analysis showed that the lesion was benign. At 1-year follow-up postsurgery, no recurrence was seen. Therefore, a benign lesion can present with typical features suggestive of OSSN.
