|
| Orange caruncular mass in a 43 year old | null | Oncyocytoma. Note the abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm and cystic nature of the tumor • which is morphologically similar to oncyocytoma of other anatomic sites. The caruncle is histologically distinct as it is lined by conjunctival epithelium but contains subepithelial adnexal elements such as hair follicles and sebaceous glands. |
