There are several pigmented nonneoplastic lesions that can clinically simulate melanocytic tumors. The authors report an unusual conjunctival epithelial inclusion cyst that contained luminal bacterial colonies, hemorrhage, and epithelial debris. Clinical appearance convincingly simulated a melanoma. The clinical and histopathologic features of this lesion are discussed.
