Use of Polarized Light in the Diagnosis of “Fuzz” Granuloma in the Conjunctiva of a Child

Synthetic fiber granulomas, also known as “Teddy Bear” granulomas or “Fuzz Ball granulomas,” are usually seen in childhood. We present a case of a 5-year-old child with a “Fuzz Ball” granuloma of the conjunctiva. The resected specimen was processed routinely. The use of polarized light during micros...

description Synthetic fiber granulomas, also known as “Teddy Bear” granulomas or “Fuzz Ball granulomas,” are usually seen in childhood. We present a case of a 5-year-old child with a “Fuzz Ball” granuloma of the conjunctiva. The resected specimen was processed routinely. The use of polarized light during microscopic examination of the resected tissue made the diagnosis evident due to the prominent birefringence of the synthetic foreign material fibers.
