Abstract
Case report

We describe a 79-year-old woman who had a small lesion on the inner corner of her right eye for the last 6 months. The lesion was surgically excised and histologically analyzed, with a diagnosis of oncocytoma of the caruncle.

Discussion

Ocular oncocytomas are rare benign neoplasms found in the caruncle, conjunctiva, lacrimal gland and lacrimal sac. They are composed of transformed epithelial cells of the ducts. Although rare, this tumor should be recognized especially in the elderly because of the exceptional development of adenocarcinoma.

Keywords:
Oncocytoma
Caruncle
Tumor
Resumen
Caso clínico

Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 79 años con una pequeña lesión en el canto interno de su ojo derecho desde hacía 6 meses. Se procedió a la extirpación quirúrgica y análisis histológico de la lesión, con el diagnóstico de oncocitoma de carúncula.

Discusión

Los oncocitomas oculares son neoplasias benignas raras que se localizan en la carúncula, conjuntiva, glándula lagrimal y saco lagrimal. Están compuestos de células que derivan de los epitelios glandulares. Aunque es infrecuente, este tumor debería conocerse, especialmente en personas mayores, ya que excepcionalmente puede progresar a adenocarcinoma.
