Abstract
To report a conjunctival leiomyoma. Observational case report. A 35-year-old man was referred to us for evaluation of a lesion in his left eye. The lesion had been present for 1 year but had recently caused irritation. Ophthalmologic examination revealed an elevated mass in the episclera. There was no associated conjunctival/episcleral injection. Ocular examination was otherwise entirely normal. An excisional biopsy was performed. The histopathologic and immunohistochemistry examinations established the diagnosis of a conjunctival leiomyoma. This case represents the first report, known to date, describing the occurrence of a conjunctival leiomyoma.
