PURPOSE
To present the clinical and histopathological characteristics of a corneal myxoma.
METHODS
A 36-year-old, white woman presented with blurred vision and a whitish opacity on the left cornea. Clinical examination revealed a whitish, non-tender, 5 x 9 mm superficial tumour on the cornea. The tumour was excised and examined microscopically.
RESULTS
The tumour was composed of spindle-shaped cells in a myxomatous ground substance. Immunohistochemically, the tumour cells were positive for vimentin, muscle-specific antigen and smooth muscle antigen. The tumour was classified as a myxoma of the cornea. The origin of the tumour is discussed.
CONCLUSION
This is the second reported case of a corneal myxoma without prior corneal disease.
