Conjunctival inclusion cyst (Video)

Last updated August 29, 2007

length: 1:05 minutes

Here is a video showing a large, translucent cyst on the conjunctiva of the eye. This is most likely an epithelial inclusion cyst. These occur when epithelial cells are trapped under the conjunctiva (from prior surgery) and continue to produce mucinoid secretion. This was removed via excision with an attempt to remove the entire cyst wall to prevent recurrence.
