This report details a rare corneal myxoma, a benign tumor of the eye, found in a patient without prior eye disease. The study outlines its clinical presentation and microscopic features.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Corneal myxomas are rare benign tumors.
  • This case presents a unique instance without pre-existing corneal conditions.

Observation:

  • A 36-year-old woman presented with blurred vision and a corneal opacity.
  • Clinical examination revealed a superficial, non-tender corneal tumor measuring 5 x 9 mm.

Findings:

  • Microscopic examination showed spindle-shaped cells within a myxomatous stroma.
  • Immunohistochemistry confirmed tumor cells positive for vimentin, muscle-specific antigen, and smooth muscle antigen.
  • The tumor was definitively classified as a corneal myxoma.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of corneal myxoma presentations.

  • Highlights the importance of histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis for diagnosis.
  • Contributes to the limited literature on corneal myxomas, particularly those arising in healthy corneas.
