Case Discussion
Subconjunctival fat prolapse and dermolipoma occur in the lateral canthal area of the temporal or superotemporal bulbar conjunctiva.
The principal imaging feature of subconjunctival fat prolapse is that the fatty mass is continuous with the intraconal fat, is believed to be a herniation of intraconal fat due to a weakening of the Tenon capsule.
