As foreign body wounds of the eye are very common, many ocular injuries are caused by thorns, fragments of wood or husks of grains, which are retained in eye initiating granulomatous reaction, very commonly seen in rural places. Foreign body granuloma should be considered in differential diagnosis of conjunctival epibulbar lesions like episcleritis, scleritis and squamous dysplasia. Here we present a case of conjunctival foreign body granuloma developed after a thorn injury in a 19 years old young male, from rural area.
