“…7 Conjunctival leiomyomas have also been reported to arise from the palpebral and epibulbar conjunctiva. 8–10 Leiomyosarcoma, a malignant smooth muscle tumor, should also be considered in the differential diagnosis. Thirteen cases of this tumor have been previously reported on the conjunctiva.…”

“…A leiomyoma is another benign lesion that has previously been described as a nodule on the lower eyelid, composed of intersecting fascicles of spindle-shaped cells. 7 Conjunctival leiomyomas have also been reported to arise from the palpebral and epibulbar [8][9][10] Leiomyosarcoma, a malignant smooth muscle tumor, should also be considered in the differential diagnosis. Thirteen cases of this tumor have been previously reported on the conjunctiva.…”

Purpose:The aim of this study was to describe a novel presentation of conjunctival smooth muscle hamartoma and review the histopathologic findings of this entity.Methods:A 17-year-old African American adolescent boy presented with a pink, nontender lesion of the right bulbar conjunctiva that did not improve with medical management. He had no previous medical or ocular history. The lesion was excised.Results:Histopathologic examination disclosed morphologically benign smooth muscle bundles within the substantia propria that stained positively for smooth muscle actin, vimentin, and desmin consistent with the diagnosis of a smooth muscle hamartoma.Conclusions:Although congenital smooth muscle hamartomas of the conjunctiva have been rarely reported in the literature, this is the first described case of a smooth muscle hamartoma presenting in adolescence in the bulbar conjunctiva. This lesion should be considered in the differential diagnosis for adolescents with similar appearing lesions.

“…Its location has been described intraorbital in 25 cases; histological characteristics and the absence of recurrence after complete resection support their benign behavior 6. On the other hand, Lin J, et al 7 reported eight cases of angioleiomyoma, of which six were intraconal and two were located in the eyelid, and were more frequent in males. The palpebral conjunctiva is another uncommon site where leiomyoma has been reported 8 .…”

nodules and cysts, such as hordeolum, chalazion, epidermal inclusion cyst, epidermoid cyst, dermoid cyst, sebaceous cyst, cysts of Zeiss and Moll, eccrine hidrocystoma, miliary acne, blackheads, etc. 1-3 ( Table 1). Uncommon tumors, mainly of the stromal type, may appear in the eyelids. Smooth muscle tumors of the eyelids, such as leiomyomas and leiomyosarcomas, are very rare 4 .

“…reportaron ocho casos de angioleiomioma, de los cuales seis ocurrieron intraconales y dos a nivel palpebral, y fueron más frecuentes en el sexo masculino. La conjuntiva palpebral es otro de los sitios poco comunes donde se ha reportado la presencia de leiomioma 8 .…”

Se describe el caso clínico sobre un tumor de estirpe histológica poco frecuente en cuanto a su localización, en un paciente de sexo femenino de 18 años de edad, quien inició con un nódulo eritematoso y doloroso en el párpado superior derecho, que se trató de forma conservadora, con buen resultado terapéutico; sin embargo, posterior a 1 año de evolución recidivó en el mismo sitio, por lo que se realizó biopsia. El reporte histopatológico fue un leiomioma epitelioide. Los párpados pueden ser el sitio de desarrollo de tumores poco comunes, en la mayoría de los casos estromales. La conducta terapéutica ante un tumor palpebral exige biopsia y análisis histopatológico para establecer el diagnóstico y tratamiento correctos.
