Abstract:
A 93-year-old male patient presented with abrupt expansion of an old epibulbar mass at the temporal area of the left eye. He had a medical history of previously treated laryngeal cancer with surgery and radiotherapy. The tumor, despite being firmly attached to the underlying sclera, was excised completely and histopathological examinations revealed a solitary myofibroma. The patient had a 4-month uneventful follow-up with excellent wound healing. Solitary myofibroma may be a differential diagnosis for epibulbar masses in elderly patients.
