Abstract

A female patient in her 20s presented with a bulbar conjunctival mass lesion that was diagnosed as nodular scleritis. It was treated with topical and oral steroids in another hospital. Imaging was done using anterior segment optical coherence tomography and ultrasound biomicroscopy, which helped to rule out scleritis and subconjunctival cysticercosis. Histopathology of the excision biopsy specimen revealed fungal filaments. Topical antifungals were started, and the condition resolved without recurrence after therapy. Although rare, infections should be considered in the differential diagnosis of conjunctival mass lesions. Imaging can help to rule out other entities and guide towards appropriate management.
