“…Ocular NTK are extremely rare neoplasms (table 3) having only been reported 11 times and usually occurring in the eyelid, with the exception of 1 case which occurred within the orbit and the present case with a corneal NTK [6,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18]. The mean age among the 11 cases is 33.5 years, which is higher than in nonocular NTK (21-24 years).…”

Neurothekeomas (NTKs) are benign cutaneous neoplasms of fibrohistiocytic origin and most commonly occur in the head, neck, and upper extremities. Traditionally, NTK and nerve sheath myxoma (NSM) were classified as subtypes of a single neoplasm with a common histogenesis, but recently immunostaining has demonstrated that the lesions are most likely of distinct cellular origin. Rarely, NTKs have been reported to occur in the ocular adnexa, and the present case of a 39-year-old female is the first to describe a cellular NTK originating in the cornea and mimicking a Salzmann's nodular degeneration. This report describes the clinical and pathological findings of the patient, discusses the changes in the classification of these rare neoplasms in light of advances in immunohistochemistry, and reviews all cases of ocular NTK found in the literature.

“…Approximately 23 cases have been described affecting the orbit and orbital bones. [5][6][7][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] However we present the first case of an orbital myxoma with nuclear atypia, an exceedingly rare finding on histopathological examination. Myxomas are true neoplasms of primitive mesenchyme that do not metastasize, but local recurrence is possible after incomplete surgical resection.…”
