Summary Conjunctival lesions comprise a variety of benign, pre‐malignant, and malignant tumours. While epidemiologic statistics are difficult and vary between populations, a correct diagnosis is pivotal for appropriate management. This presentation aims to demonstrate the most important conjunctival tumours and their histopathology thereby allowing for a better understanding of clinical features and the respective therapeutic intervention.
