Myofibroma, a benign neoplasm of the myofibroblasts, is most commonly encountered in the head and neck region, which includes the scalp, the forehead, the parotid region and the oral cavity. It is most rarely reported in the eyelids. Ocular myofibroma typically presents during childhood and it is rare in older patients. One such rare case which occurred in a 26 year old female with a clinical diagnosis of a palperbral orbital cyst, which was associated with a rudimentary eyeball, has been presented here. Rudimentary eyeballs which are associated with other congenital anomalies of the central nervous system, the female genital system and the skeletal system, have been frequently reported, but the occurrence of myofibroma in a rudimentary eyeball, as was seen in the present case, is an exceptional feature and an extensive review of literature did not reveal any report of such an occurrence.
肌纤维瘤是一种肌成纤维细胞的良性肿瘤，最常见于头颈部区域，包括头皮、前额、腮腺区和口腔。眼睑部位极为罕见。眼部肌纤维瘤通常在儿童期出现，在老年患者中较为罕见。本文介绍了一例罕见病例，该病例发生在一名26岁女性身上，临床诊断为睑眶囊肿，伴有发育不全的眼球。与中枢神经系统、女性生殖系统和骨骼系统的其他先天性异常相关的发育不全眼球已有频繁报道，但如本病例所见，肌纤维瘤发生在发育不全的眼球中是一个特殊情况，广泛查阅文献未发现此类病例的报道。
