- Abstract
- A 59-year-old man with a palpable mass above the left eyebrow that had appeared over a 1-year period presented to our clinic. He previously had been administered antiglaucoma eyedrops for pseudophakic glaucoma of the left eye and had undergone Ahmed glaucoma valve implant surgery. The palpable mass above the left eyebrow was soft, nontender, and large. On slit lamp examination, the Ahmed valve was positioned in the superotemporal quadrant of the limbal conjunctiva, and there was no other abnormal finding. Computerized tomography (CT) imaging showed a dense, soft tissue lesion in the left upper lateral periorbital area. The patient underwent tumor excision with biopsy under general anesthesia, and the histopathologic result was myxoma. To rule out Carney complex, dermatological and cardiac evaluation were performed, and the results were normal. Finally, the tumor was diagnosed as isolated myxoma. Isolated myxoma around the upper eyelid is very rare, and complete surgical excision is needed because it has a high recurrence rate.
