Two patients had an asymptomatic, circumscribed, bluish caruncular mass that appeared cystic clinically and was suspected to represent oncocytoma. In both cases, ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) revealed a relatively echolucent circumscribed mass with fine internal echoes suggestive of a cystic mass. Following complete carunculectomy, histopathologic findings disclosed a cystic oncocytoma in 1 case that correlated with the cystic findings on UBM. The second lesion was a more solid cystadenomatous oncocytoma that correlated with size on UBM but was not cystic as suggested by UBM. Ultrasound biomicroscopy can be a useful technique for delineating the configuration and extent of tumors in the caruncular region, but both solid and cystic tumors can appear echolucent on UBM.

Oncocytoma is a benign epithelial tumor that arises from glandular structures in the salivary, thyroid, parathyroid, and lacrimal . . . [Full Text of this Article]
