ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Conjunctival cysts are usually asymptomatic but they can cause foreign body sensation and contribute to dry eye disease. The purpose of this case report is to describe the presentation and treatment of an infected inclusion cyst of a conjunctival nevus in a healthy 36-year-old patient.

Case presentation

A healthy 36-year-old man presented to the emergency department for redness and pain in his left eye for 1 day. Slit-lamp examination revealed a conjunctival hyperemia and a conjunctival nevus with 4 inclusion cysts, one of which was filled with purulent material. Fluorescein staining of the conjunctival epithelium was negative. Α mini-incision of the white cyst was performed using a 30 G needle, followed by bimanual drainage and topical treatment with tobramycin
