We describe the case of a 37-year-old African woman with an asymptomatic lesion on her right conjunctiva; histology of the lesion revealed the presence of conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia. HIV-positive patients from Africa are at increased risk of developing conjunctival malignancies, and early diagnosis and treatment can prevent serious consequences.
