Fibroepithelial polyp, one of the most common benign cutaneous lesions, was seen as a conjunctival mass, which, to the best of our knowledge, is the second ever reported case of fibroepithelial polyp involving conjunctiva, although it can have atypical presentation and has been reported at sites like ureteropelvic junction, genitals, bronchi, tonsils, and outer ear canal. The common benign and malignant conjunctival lesions are pterygium, pingecuela, pannus, pyogenic granuloma, limbal dermoid, papilloma, squamous cell carcinoma, lymphoma, Kaposi sarcoma, and malignant melanoma. Therefore, the possibility of fibroepithelial polyp affecting uncommon sites cannot be negated.
