A 16 years old boy presented to the eye OPD with a conjunctival growth of one year duration which was gradually increasing in size. On examination visual acuity was 6/6 in both eyes. It was a conjunctival growth originating from the inferior fornix and lateral end of medial canthus, it was like a pedunculated, congested, out pouching of the conjunctiva.
