For statistical purposes Conjunctival Concretion is classified under the World Health Organisations ICD-10 category of H11.129 and the ICD-11 category of 9A61.6. Treatment
Conjunctival concretions can be seen easily by everting the eyelid. The projecting concretions can be removed if they are causing concerning symptoms. Removal can be performed by an eye doctor. Sometimes just a needle or a scalpel is used to remove the concretion under local light anesthesia of the conjunctiva in adults. == References ==
Juvenile hyaline fibromatosis (also known as "Fibromatosis hyalinica multiplex juvenilis," "Murray–Puretic–Drescher syndrome") is a very rare, autosomal recessive disease due to mutations in capillary morphogenesis protein-2 (CMG-2 gene). It occurs from early childhood to adulthood, and presents as slow-growing, pearly white or skin-colored dermal or subcutaneous papules or nodules on the face, scalp, and back, which may be confused clinically with neurofibromatosis. The World Health Organization, 2020, reclassified the papules and nodules that occur in juvenile hyaline firbromatosis as one of the specific benign types of tumors in the category of fibroblastic and myofibroblastic tumors. Presentation
This condition is characterised by abnormal growth of hyalinized fibrous tissue with cutaneous, mucosal, osteoarticular and systemic involvement. Clinical features include extreme pain at minimal handling in a newborn, gingival hypertrophy, subcutaneous nodules, painful joint stiffness and contractures, muscle weakness and hypotonia. Genetics
This condition is due to mutations in the anthrax toxin receptor-2 (ANTXR2) gene. This gene is also known as capillary morphogenesis protein-2. This gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 4 (4q21.21). Management
There is no presently known curative treatment for this condition.Management is supportive

Prognosis
This is very poor with a median age at death of 15 months. Epidemiology
84 cases have been reported as of 2018. See also
