Conjunctival Neoformation of the Superior Eyelid
Figure 1. Epithelial neoformation in the superior tarsal conjunctiva.
Figure 2. Palpebral eversion. This lesion may be an epithelioma, or due to traumatic injuries or foreign bodies.

This Pictorial Ophthalmology was submitted by Dr Juan Junceda and is based on a CD-ROM of 15 years experience of oculoplastic surgery.
The CD-ROM contains more than 2 and a half hours of in vivo surgery and 32 films distributed in 5 sections of anatomy, palpebral surgery, conjunctival surgery, lacrimal pathway surgery, and orbital surgery.
The CD-ROM is currently distributed only in Spanish-speaking countries, although it will soon be edited by an International Publisher, which will make it more readily available.
