Vernal keratoconjunctivitis is diagnosed mainly on the basis of typical signs and symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis such as conjunctival papillae, limbal gelatinous thickening, peri-limbal Horner–Trantas dots, and shield ulcers. Limbal hyperplasia can be a rare finding in such patients, which mimics an ocular surface neoplasm and is difficult to diagnose clinically unless a histopathological examination is done. We report a case of a young boy with a longstanding history of allergic conjunctivitis refractory to topical corticosteroids who presented with a giant isolated limbal conjunctival nodule and was successfully managed without any recurrence.
