Abstract
The authors describe an unusual case of striking unilateral yellow-brown discolouration of the conjunctiva in a 33-year-old man. A biopsy from an elevated conjunctival area showed a brown pigmentation to be haemosiderin and haemogranulomatous inflammation most probably due to recurrent subconjunctival haemorrhage.
