## TL;DR

A 9-year-old boy had a conjunctival lesion that resembled a rare benign lymphoid condition, highlighting the need for detailed testing to avoid misdiagnosis.

## Contribution

Emphasizes the importance of comprehensive histopathological and molecular evaluation in diagnosing conjunctival pseudolymphoma in children.

## Key findings

- Conjunctival pseudolymphoma can mimic malignant lymphoma in pediatric patients.
- Accurate diagnosis requires histopathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular evaluation.

## Abstract

Conjunctival pseudolymphoma is a rare benign lymphoid proliferation that can mimic malignant lymphoma, especially in pediatric patients. Thorough histopathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular evaluation is essential for correct diagnosis and management, avoiding overtreatment.
