Abstract

Recurrence of lobular capillary haemangioma of conjunctiva after surgical excision is rare but sometimes it may be difficult to manage multiple recurrences. A 31-year-old female patient presented with recurrent polypoid conjunctival lobular capillary haemangioma. Excisional biopsy was performed, followed by eye drop mitomycin C 0.04% four times a day for 1 week postoperatively. She reported again after 3 months with recurrence of vascular elongated nodular lesion. Excision of the mass with application of mitomycin C 0.02% intraoperatively for 1 min and cryotherapy using double thaw technique of the peripheral conjunctival margin was done. The histopathological examination confirmed the recurrence of lobular capillary haemangioma. On review, 1 year after treatment there was no evidence of recurrence. A combined use of cryotherapy and intraoperative mitomycin C as adjunctive therapy after surgical excision can successfully prevent further recurrence without any adverse effect.
