“…Other rare inflammatory lesions described in the literature are methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus caruncular abscess, inflammatory pseudotumor, cicatricial pemphigoid, cytomegalovirus infection, molluscum contagiosum, spherulocytosis, and Armillifer armillatus infection. [ 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 ] Caruncular tuberculosis is a novel finding of our study which has not been previously reported. This particular case underwent a thorough evaluation to rule out pulmonary tuberculosis and was started on antitubercular treatment.…”

Purpose: To provide a retrospective analysis of lesions of the caruncle which have been very rarely reported in the literature. Methods: A retrospective review of all the caruncular lesions between January 2000 and January 2020 was done at a single tertiary eye care hospital. The lesions were classified as benign and malignant lesions. Clinicopathological correlation was done for the excised lesions. Results: A total of 87 caruncular lesions were included in the study. Males (59%) were affected more than females (41%). The mean age at presentation was 44 ± 20 years. The mean duration of complaint was 36 ± 62 months. A total of 36 patients underwent surgical excision whereas the rest opted for conservative management. Recurrence was noted in five patients. Fifteen different types of lesions were identified histopathologically. Benign lesions (78%) were far more common than malignant ones (22%). Epithelial inclusion cyst was the most common benign lesion and sebaceous gland carcinoma was the most common malignant lesion. Correct clinicopathological correlation was seen in 52.7% of the cases. Caruncular tuberculosis, oncocytoma, and basosquamous cell carcinoma were some of the rare lesions. Conclusion: Caruncular lesions are uncommon and very diverse, which makes clinical diagnosis challenging. Epithelial inclusion cyst and sebaceous gland carcinoma were the most common benign and malignant lesions respectively. Correct clinicopathological correlation was seen in more than half of the cases.

“…75 CMV is the primary ocular pathogen afflicting the HIV/AIDS population and is best recognized for engendering retinitis, but is also irregularly associated with epithelial keratitis, uveitis, conjunctivitis, and carunculitis. [76][77][78] The virus is additionally linked with idiosyncratic corneal aberrations that develop exclusively in the presence of retinal infection. Endothelial deposits characterized as asymptomatic, refractile, linear, or stellate precipitates settling in a reticular pattern have been reported as concomitant manifestations in up to 81% of cases of HIV/AIDS-related CMV retinitis.…”
