    This study identifies a rare conjunctival myxoma, a painless epibulbar mass, in a 54-year-old man. Diagnosis was confirmed using specialized alcian blue staining techniques.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pathology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Epibulbar masses can present diagnostic challenges, mimicking various benign and malignant tumors.
    • Distinguishing between similar-appearing conjunctival lesions is crucial for appropriate patient management.

    Observation:

    • A 54-year-old man presented with a slow-growing, painless epibulbar mass.
    • Histopathological examination revealed a paucicellular tumor with stellate/spindly cells, mast cells, and lymphatic channels in a collagenous matrix.

    Findings:

    • The differential diagnosis included lymphangioma, nevus, lymphoma, and rhabdomyosarcoma.
    • Conjunctival myxoma was confirmed through characteristic features and differential alcian blue staining, dependent on electrolyte concentration.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering rare diagnoses like conjunctival myxoma in epibulbar masses.
    • Utilizing specific histochemical stains aids in accurate pathological diagnosis and differentiation from other orbital tumors.
