[Conjunctival myxoma. Apropos of an anatomo-clinical case]

In the ocular area, myxoma is a benign and uncommon tumor located essentially in the lids, more rarely in the conjunctiva. We report the case of a 31-year-old male suffering from the recent growth of an epibulbar painless tumefaction located in the temporal conjunctiva. This gelatinous mass was excised and has revealed a conjunctival myxoma. Surgical excision and histopathologic examination of such epibulabar lesions are necessary because they are few malignant tumors, like botryoid rhabdomyosarcoma or fibrosarcoma, which may have a similar clinical aspect.
