In this article, a 51-year-old man with conjunctival lymphangiectasia who applied to the hospital with conjunctival swelling was presented. Conjunctival resection of lesion was performed and no recurrence was found in the follow-up examination at 9 months. This is an uncommon clinical condition in which conjunctival swelling occurs as a consequence of enlarged lymphatics of the bulbar conjunctiva.
