Subconjunctival Myolipoma Confirmed with Immunohistochemical Analysis: A Case Report

Purpose: To report the clinicopathological features of a rare case of subconjunctival myolipoma and its treatment results. Case Report: A 17-year-old female patient referred to our center with a white-pink mass in her left upper bulbar conjunctiva. The lesion extended to the forniceal conjunctiva. The patient had otherwise normal complete ocular examinations and underwent complete surgical excision of the mass due to cosmetic concerns. The tumor was examined with light–microscopy, following hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), Masson-trichrome, and immunohistochemical (IHC) staining. A definite diagnosis of subconjunctival myolipoma was acheived following the pathological assessment. Six months postoperatively, no tumor recurrence was noted, and ocular examinations were within normal limits. Conclusion: To date, only a few cases of orbital myolipoma have been reported in the literature. To the best of our knowledge, the current manuscript is the first report of subconjunctival myolipoma in the English literature. A straightforward diagnosis is possible through pathological assessment of the excised tumor and surgical treatment shows good results.
