Corneal myxoma. Case report and review of the literature.
Myxoma of the cornea is extremely rare. To our knowledge, only two cases have been reported in the literature. We report an additional case of a corneal myxomatous lesion that presented as a subepithelial, gelatinous, and whitish mass. Histologic examination revealed a loose mucoid stroma, rich in hyaluronic acid, with a relative paucity of cells.
