Abstract
The authors report a case of limbal papilloma with extensive corneal involv ement. The limbal lesion was excised completely, leaving a clear corneal be d. Histopathologically, the lesion was found to be a limbal papilloma. Mass ive superficial involvement of the cornea by papilloma is rare. Simple exci sion is effective in treating the condition with restoration of vision and cosmesis.
