To describe a case with a growing erythematous conjunctival mass in the left eye, diagnosed as conjunctival myxoma.
A 31-year-old lady had corrected visual acuity of 6/7.5 and normal intraocular pressure in both eyes. Congested left bulbar conjunctiva with one slightly elevated nodule at nasal area was noted for one year. Excisional biopsy was performed after failed treatment with topical eye drops. Pathology showed conjunctival myxoma with spindle- and stellate-shaped cells, which was a rare ocular surface neoplasia. There was no combined systemic disease found.
We described the clinical and pathological features of conjunctival myxoma. Systemic evaluation should be considered before and after surgical excision.
描述一例左眼结膜肿块不断增大且呈红斑状，诊断为结膜黏液瘤的病例。
一名31岁女性双眼矫正视力为6/7.5，眼压正常。发现左侧球结膜充血，鼻侧有一个稍隆起的结节，持续一年。局部滴眼液治疗无效后进行了切除活检。病理显示为结膜黏液瘤，伴有梭形和星状细胞，这是一种罕见的眼表肿瘤。未发现合并全身性疾病。
我们描述了结膜黏液瘤的临床和病理特征。手术切除前后均应考虑进行全身评估。
