Conjunctival myxoma is an uncommon benign tumor that may develop as a localized disease or as part of the Carney complex, in which case it can cause significant morbidity and mortality. Conjunctival myxomas can mimic other pure or mixed tumors and are often overlooked in clinical practice. Histopathological studies are essential for diagnosis; however, controversy regarding their pathological and immunohistochemical features makes the diagnostic process more difficult. Because of the importance of correctly classifying these conjunctival tumors, as well as recognizing when a systematic screening is required owing to the possible association with life-threatening diseases, we comprehensively evaluate the literature on this rare entity based on a systematic approach.

Nerve sheath myxomas are extremely rare myxoid peripheral nerve sheath tumors with a predilection for the distal extremities, particularly common in the fingers and knees. Here, the authors report a 60-year-old male patient with a subconjunctival epibulbar nerve sheath myxoma, which was clinically diagnosed as an orbital fat prolapse. The lesion was successfully debulked without clinical recurrence over more than 3 years.

Rationale: Conjunctival myxoma is a rare benign tumor, which can mimic more common conjunctival lesions such as a cyst, lymphangioma, amelanotic nevus, neurofibroma, amelanotic melanoma, or lipoma. We describe a patient with the conjunctival myxoma, who was initially misdiagnosed as a conjunctival cyst. This case report includes intraoperative photographs and various immunohistochemical staining images.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report the clinicopathological features and management of the first case of bilateral synchronous conjunctival myxoma.
Methods: This study was a case report and literature review.
Results: A 66-year-old Chinese male with past ocular history of uncomplicated bilateral phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOLs) 3 years ago prior to presentation presented with bilateral red and swollen conjunctiva for over a year.
