Abstract |
PURPOSE To report a rare case of conjunctival myxoma. CASE SUMMARY: A 40-year-old man presented with a nasal bulbar conjunctival mass in his left eye. The mass was a 12 mmx7 mm pinkish movable mass in the subconjunctival space. There was no pain and no tenderness. We diagnosed the case as lymphoma, and we performed excisional biopsy of the mass. Histopathologic examination revealed the tumor to be a myxoma. CONCLUSIONS: When a patient presents with a pinkish, less vessel-appearing, non-pigmented and movable mass of the conjunctiva, conjunctival myxoma should be considered as a possible diagnosis. |
