Supernumerary Lacrimal Caruncle: A Case Series

A 12-year-old boy and 63-year-old woman were incidentally found to have a solitary, well-defined, raised, ovoid lesion involving the inferomedial palpebral conjunctiva. Both lesions were separate from the lacrimal caruncle with normal conjunctiva surrounding the lesions. Excisional biopsies were consistent with caruncular tissue. In the English literature, supernumerary lacrimal caruncle has only been previously described in adults despite the congenital nature of the lesion.
