Slit-lamp evaluation revealed an immobile, mildly pigmented multicystic lesion measuring 6.0\u2009\u00d7\u20094.5 mm that involved the nasal bulbar conjunctiva and the plica semilunaris. The lesion appeared benign, without feeder vessels or features of epithelial dysplasia. Given its recent growth and the patient's cosmetic concerns, the lesion was excised with ocular surface reconstruction. Histopathological evaluation disclosed a well-circumscribed nodule of well-differentiated cartilage in the substantia propria, consistent with a simple cartilaginous choristoma. The overlying conjunctival stroma contained multiple cysts lined by focally pigment epithelium. The patient recovered well from surgery, with satisfactory cosmetic results.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our case of epibulbar simple cartilaginous choristoma includes a prominent superficial component of pigmented epithelial cysts, which has not been previously reported in the literature.
