Conjunctival hemangioma over the age of 60 is rare, with few cases reported in the literature. We present a unique case of a conjunctival capillary hemangioma, adding to the sparse literature of this uncommon vascular tumor. Here, we present an interesting case of spontaneous development of this tumor at age 68, without associated systemic disease process or cutaneous manifestations.

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic multisystemic disease characterized by immunological activation, diffuse vasculopathy, and generalized fibrosis exhibiting a variety of symptoms. A recognized precursor of SSc is Raynaud's phenomenon, which is part of the very early disease of systemic sclerosis (VEDOSS) in combination with nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) impairment. The pathophysiology of ocular involvement, alterations in internal organs, and body integumentary system involvement in SSc patients are complicated and poorly understood, with multiple mechanisms presumptively working together.
