Abstract
A conjunctival cyst is a thin-walled sac or vesicle that contains fluid. It may develop either on or under the conjunctiva due to variety of causes such as infection, inflammation, retention cyst and rarely drug induced. It maybe one of the uncommon complications of strabismus surgery, scleral buckling, pars plana vitrectomy, ptosis surgery, and cataract surgery.It is important for surgeons and patients to be aware of and take precautions to minimize the risk. These lesions are typically fixed to the tissue of origin. A 40 year female presented with painless and gradually increasing cystic mass under conjuctiva which was excised and sent for biopsy that showed cyst lined by stratified squamous epithelium suggestive of benign conuctival cyst.
