Conjunctival lymphangiectasia, a rare condition characterized by dilated lymphatic channels in the bulbar conjunctiva, generally develops as a consequence of a local lymphatic scarring or distal mechanical outflow obstruction following surgery, radiotherapy, neoplastic disease, or other disease processes. The actual cause often remains unknown. We report a case of a unilateral conjunctival lymphangiectasia in a 7-year-old girl with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) and discuss a possible association between the two entities.
