    Description Ligneous conjunctivitis is a rare, chronic form of conjunctivitis that starts in adulthood. A genetically caused form of the disease can occur in childhood, but these cases are not autoimmune. Patients with ligneous conjunctivitis have large, inflamed, woody growths on the inside of the eyelid and potentially whites of the eye. These growths may also occur in the mouth, ears, respiratory tract, and genitourinary tract. The inflamed growths are likely to come back after they have been removed. If untreated, ligneous conjunctivitis can lead to vision loss and sometimes life-threatening pulmonary complications.

    Not confirmed as an autoimmune or autoinflammatory disease.
