Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Oncology
Pathology

Background:

Primary corneal myxoma is exceptionally rare, with only two prior reported cases.
Myxomas typically affect soft tissues but can occur in periocular structures.
Secondary corneal myxomas are more common, often linked to existing corneal diseases.

Observation:

The third reported case of primary corneal myxoma presented with unique characteristics.
The tumor was inferonasally located between the corneal epithelium and Bowman layer, separate from the stroma.
Rapid tumor growth over three months was observed, without prior ocular trauma or conjunctival issues.

Findings:

Histological examination is crucial for determining cellular origin, malignancy, and guiding treatment.
The presented case demonstrated rapid growth but was successfully managed.
Unlike a previously reported recurrence, this case showed no recurrence 12 months post-surgery.

Implications:

This case expands the understanding of primary corneal myxoma presentation and behavior.
Effective management strategies, including surgical resection and conservative approaches like bandage contact lenses, are highlighted.
Long-term follow-up is essential for monitoring rare tumors like corneal myxoma.
