They are often found in the inferior fold of the conjunctival sac, but can also appear in the conjunctiva of the eyelid, the semilunar fold or the tear muscle. Many such papillomas resolve spontaneously within months or years and then do not require treatment. If the papilloma is pedunculated, small, does not disfigure and is cosmetically acceptable, it can be left for observation or surgically removed if it is large and severely obstructive.

Unsquamous papillomas will arise from human papilloma virus (HPV subtypes 16 and 18) infection and may be dysplastic. They are single tumors with a flat base occurring in only one eye. They often occur in the ocular conjunctiva of the corneal stroma area. Close observation or surgical excision is required for non-septated papillomas.

A thickening on the eyelid caused by inflammation of the sebaceous thyroid gland, resulting from blockage of the glands’ mouths and retention of secretions.
