Clinicopathological correlation of caruncular lesions: a 22-year report from the Middle East
Caruncular lesions present significant diagnostic challenges due to their rarity and histopathological diversity. This study underscores the importance of histopathological examination for accurate diagnosis and highlights the need for regional data to better understand the epidemiology of these lesions. The findings also suggest that while most lesions are benign, a high index of suspicion for malignancy should be maintained, particularly in cases of rapid growth or atypical presentation.
