Online published on 30 November, 2019. Abstract A calf was presented with history of multiple growths on upper right eyelid since birth. On clinical examination, the growth was found to be multiple in nature involving a pedunculated soft lemon sized mass originating from upper eyelid touching over the cornea causing ulcerative keratitis. Surgical correction was resorted and growth was excised. The cornea was covered with collagen eye shield, protected with third eyelid flap and temporary tarsorraphy was performed. Histopathology confirmed the growth as neurofibroma. Top Keywords Calf, neurofibroma, ulcerative keratitis, upper eyelid. Top |
